Why would they do this???

Buy fresh chicken, stay away from processed, (which we do anyway) and you don't have to worry about it for now.

There is a ranch in our area that raises and sells chickens without hormone or antibiotics. A little more expensive but well worth the trouble.

I wonder whose pockets were lined to create this legislation! Just a complete waste of resources and money, and dangerous to boot - as you know they are going to want the cheapest "processors" so likely the lowest paid workers with worst safety training and cleaning and caution!

I heard on the news that Smithfield Foods (the world's largest pork producer) has been acquired by a company based in Hong Kong and will no longer be publicly traded. Chinese consumers want food from other countries because of their food safety problems.
