The fast-food chain has announced that it will soon allow certain antibiotics to be used in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.

    I tried their food as they recently opened up in my city in Canada. Their chicken sandwich and waffle fries are a complete joke compared to local chains here and McDonald’s/KFC of all places. Dry af chicken, sad spice and soggy waffle fries. At a local chain I get a good Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, beautiful steak cut fries and a good drink. They just expanded to a second location here. Chick-fil-A do better

      I live much, much further south than you. Gulf coast state.

      I hesitate to compliment them because they’re a restaurant chain built on the back of an established religion that’s slowly dismantling our country.

      But I will say that my experience has been the exact opposite. Fresh, juicy chicken, best waffle fries around. Too bad I don’t buy from them, because really the only comparable chicken sandwich around here is Popeyes and those tend to be greasy.

      I’d rather they didn’t and just went away instead.

      Personally I’ve never had chic fil a but I am very critical of chicken sandwiches. Popeyes is what I look for from a fast food chicken sandwich but my local joint is the best. Nashville hot, spicy barbecue even nekid. Portions are big too . I just really like chicken sandwiches.

      Oh yeah I’ve heard the Christian chicken described as it taste safe and I don’t regret never trying it.
