  • Chick-fil-A will start serving some chicken that has been raised with antibiotics.
  • Under the new policy, animal antibiotics can be used if the chicken and those around it are sick.
  • Chick-fil-A announced its No Antibiotics Ever policy in 2014 and implemented it in 2019.

Chick-fil-A is dropping its ban on serving chicken that has been raised with antibiotics, 10 years after first announcing the pledge and five years after it implemented it.

"To maintain supply of the high-quality chicken you expect from us, Chick-fil-A will shift from No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine (NAIHM) starting in the Spring of 2024," the chicken chain said.
