Kentucky Fried Chicken says, by the end of 2018, all of its U.S. chicken purchases will be broilers raised without antibiotics important to human medicine. A release on KFC’s website says it’s the first U.S. fast food chain to extend an antibiotics commitment to its bone-in chicken. KFC says it’s worked with 2,000 U.S. poultry farms to make the change. The company calls it “Re-Colonelization,” which KFC says is its mission to return to Colonel Sanders’ standards.
