食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國(guó)食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，感恩節(jié)來臨，作為節(jié)日美食的火雞自然成了美國(guó)人盤中的美味。美國(guó)多個(gè)消費(fèi)者組織呼吁人們購買不含抗生素的火雞，以控制當(dāng)前抗生素濫用的局面。

    今年夏天，美國(guó)大型肉企嘉吉公司Cargil表示，承諾不將抗生素用于促進(jìn)家禽生長(zhǎng)，美國(guó)首個(gè)這樣做的廠家。 然而嘉吉公司并未承諾不將抗生素用于防病。美國(guó)消費(fèi)者組織認(rèn)為，這樣做仍不夠，呼吁政府采取更多行動(dòng)。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    Public health advocates are calling on consumers to go antibiotic-free with their traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

    Earlier this week, the Pew Charitable Trusts posted its three reasons to buy a Thanksgiving turkey raised without antibiotics - the main one being that consumers can influence food producers to curb the overuse of antibiotics in livestock raised for food by “voting with their wallets.”

    The concern is not with antibiotic residue - something for which the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspects - but that overuse of antibiotics on farms contributes to the rise in antibiotic-resistant bugs, foodborne and otherwise.
