The use of antibiotics, Burger King, Starbucks is named-antibiotics by British media, Starbucks-IT information

To reduce the use of antibiotics for the fast-food chain, does not seem to deliver on this promise.

United Kingdom, the daily mail reported recently, several agencies jointly issued a report disclosing the use of antibiotics in more than more than 20 well-known fast-food chains, including Burger King and Starbucks (54.43, 0.04, 0.07%), Domino's Pizza, and DQ Dairy Queen ranks lowest "f" grades.

Reports that this is the consortium of the second annual report for antibiotics. This year the bottom of certain enterprises, was named last year as a result of the lowest-ranked. In addition, the latest annual report found that as many as 16 companies in the ranking at the bottom, of up to 64% per cent.

Ranked competitions, such as Starbucks, Domino's antibiotic use policy named

According to the daily mail, due to people's increasing concerns about antibiotic resistance, the major fast-food chains in the past two years, promises to provide the meat without antibiotics. However, this latest study shows that the "promises" of the enterprise, did not keep his promise.

Reports that on the day before the report, the United Nations General Assembly convened a high-level meeting on antibiotic resistance. By late reporters learned from the World Health Organization, on the history of the General Assembly, there had only been three such high-level meeting on health issues.

By friends of the Earth, United States the natural resources Defense Council and the food animal concerns trust, consumers Union and the report issued by the Center for food safety, United States 25 fast food and "fast casual" dining on meat and poultry policy evaluation of antibiotic use. Report finds, in a total of 25 stores, as many as 16 companies ranked, accounted for as much as 64%. Well-known chains Burger King, Starbucks, Domino's pizza and f DQ Dairy Queen are among the lowest grades. Companies in these top f-bottom, not because there is no disclosure of meat and poultry supply chain of antibiotic usage policy is the development of a policy but did not continue on the implementation of the "black list".

Report notes that public response this year, implementing policy prohibit the routine use of antibiotics in nation's top fast-food companies also doubled, 9 companies on the list in the "upgrade", which most of these shops are no longer use antibiotics to poultry (chicken).

Reports that even chicken feed to reduce the use of antibiotics has made some progress, but so far this year is not beef and pork with antibiotics still pitiful.

Has not improved a number of well-known enterprises such as Burger King last year ranked the lowest

This is a consortium of the second annual report for antibiotics, when the report for the United States's 25 largest fast-food restaurant and "fast casual" restaurant of the meat and poultry supply chain use of antibiotics sounded the alarm.

In a report last year, a consortium of 25 stores surveyed, 20 a-f rating in the bottom of the rankings, a minimum "f" rating, up to 80% per cent. The score shows that these enterprises allow meat suppliers in the daily use of antibiotics.

Law later reporters found that the enterprises ranked last year, this year is a section at the bottom. Last year the bottom of enterprises, including Burger King, DQ ice Queen, and Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Papa John pizza and Taco Bell (tacobell).

Launched one of the friends of the Earth report says Kali·hamoshilage, Senior Project Manager, from Bacon hamburger fried chicken, most United States chain of restaurants serving meat from animals raised under the industrial equipment. These companies routinely use antibiotics to prevent overcrowding, unsanitary conditions can easily spread disease.

"It is time for our catering business to make leading role model to address the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance. These businesses should collaborate with their meat and poultry suppliers, eliminate the use of routine antibiotics, improved United States meat production and the overall environment. "He said.

Health threat of drug-resistant bacteria kills 700,000 people's lives

According to the daily mail, antibiotic-resistant bacteria now claimed the lives of 700,000 people a year. Global public health officials warn that if you do not limit the use of antibiotics, this figure by 2050 to reach 1 million people a year.

Wrote this report released last year: "livestock farmers for their livestock antibiotics regularly, can cause the emergence of resistant bacteria and multiply, even extends to our society, thereby creating more antibiotic resistance problems. Aggravation of the problem of drug resistance means that we most need antibiotics when they may no longer be valid. ”

However, in the "potentially catastrophic" data driven, are blatant use of antibiotics to treat minor infections and to feed the animals. Results may result in Escherichia coli (infection) shortly after this illness becomes incurable.

In this regard, the report noted that annual production of 70% antibiotics, is commonly used in livestock and poultry. Up to 96% of these medicines are usually put in the feed or water, with those who are ill and unable to raise the growth rate of the animals, so that these animals are in crowded, unsanitary factory farms to survive. Such behavior leads to drug-resistant infection in humans is increasing.

From the United States of the natural resources Defense Council, senior health officials said Dawei·WA Lin Jia, the excessive use of antibiotics in meat production, promote the emergence of drug-resistant superbugs. "Our nation's largest restaurant chains can be part of the problem, or you can be part of the solution. "Lin Jia said that if restaurants want to put their products into a" healthier "choice, you need to take special responsibility, enhance its image by reducing the use of antibiotics. Consumers want to eat no meat with antibiotics market concept was altered, but if the company continues to try to, you will get left behind.

Wired authors should not use antibiotics for animals?

Food animal concerns trust official shidifen·laoshi told the legal evening news reporter, you first need to declare it is, we are not against the use of antibiotics in animals, but rather in the absence of sick on animal use of antibiotics. Among the f-grade Enterprise means that the company allowed its meat suppliers, even in (animal) also use antibiotics without the sick. Some companies ban the use of antibiotics to promote the production of the f-class, but in order to prevent disease but allowed its use in healthy animals.

On the commitment to provide comprehensive meat without antibiotics, different practices of firms, some companies actively considering, while some companies did not make any changes.

Roush said reports this year disclosing the fast-food company's biggest problem is that most enterprises still allows its suppliers, in the absence of sick animals in the frequent use of antibiotics. This led to the emergence of Superbugs, pose a serious threat to human health. These superbugs have increased medical costs and health risks.

Why are there still so many business problems?

Roush said that these enterprises have never reduced use of antibiotics suppliers buy meat and did not seek new suppliers or ask existing suppliers to make changes, and this is why.

The Center for food safety in organic and animal kameilun·Hashi legal policy Senior Manager late reporters, many less companies seem to want most is the company's profit and loss, and is able to get cheap meat as possible. In order to promote production and disease prevention, and the routine use of antibiotics and artificially low cost of meat.

Companies involved will react to this?

Friends of the Earth said Kali·hamoshilage, Senior Project Manager, the absence of any company to respond to the report. We hope that more and more companies to announce policies this year.

Bottom f enterprises, reduce routine antibiotic use and has not taken any measures. We do not know the actual presence of antibiotics in meat, but use of antibiotics in meat production creates Superbug, which had a resistance to antibiotic treatment, this is a major public health crisis.

Big meat purchases of these enterprises, they need to take responsibility to solve this crisis. Why so many companies are not doing enough, because they put corporate interests above public health.

Corporate distance "full antibiotic-free meat" how much farther is it?

Hash said, it depends on each company. For those who did not respond to the survey or not communicate with us businesses, we do not know whether they are in the meat and poultry supply solved the problem of antibiotic. This is what we worry about, and want to further causes of action in the future.

Roush later told law reporter, as a consumer, should not avoid those in the meat supply chain reducing antibiotic use in the company's product, asking these companies to ban in the absence of sick animals with antibiotics.

使用抗生素：汉堡王、星巴克被英媒点名 - 抗生素,星巴克 - IT资讯

减少使用抗生素，对于快餐连锁企业来说，似乎并未兑现这一承诺。

英国《每日邮报》近日报道称，多家机构联合发布的一份报告披露了20多家知名快餐连锁企业使用抗生素的情况，其中汉堡王、星巴克(54.43, 0.04, 0.07%)、达美乐比萨以及DQ冰雪皇后等均位列最低的“F”等级。

报道称，此次是这一机构联盟第二个针对抗生素方面的年度报告。而今年垫底的部分企业，在去年同样因排名最低而被点名。此外，最新年度报告发现，多达16家企业在排名中垫底，占比高达64%。

排名垫底　抗生素使用政策评比星巴克、达美乐等被点名

《每日邮报》报道称，由于人们对抗生素抗药性的担忧不断增加，各大快餐连锁企业在过去两年时间内，承诺提供不含抗生素的肉类食品。但是，这项最新研究显示，“信誓旦旦”的企业，并没有遵守诺言。

报道指出，就在报告出炉前一天，联合国大会召开了抗生素耐药问题高级别会议。法晚记者从世界卫生组织获悉，联大历史上，此前仅有过三次关于卫生问题的此类高级别会议。

由地球之友、美国自然资源保护协会以及食品动物担忧信托机构、消费者联盟和食品安全中心发布的报告，对美国25家快餐店和“快速休闲”餐厅关于肉和家禽类抗生素使用政策作出评比。报告发现，在总计25家店中，有多达16家企业排名垫底，占比高达64%。而知名连锁企业汉堡王、星巴克、达美乐比萨以及DQ冰雪皇后等均位列最低的F等级。这些位列F级排名垫底的企业，不是因为没有披露肉类和家禽类供应链上抗生素的使用政策，就是制定了政策但是没能持续实施而因此上“黑榜”。

报告指出，今年回应公众，实施政策禁止日常使用抗生素的全美顶尖快餐企业数量也出现成倍增长，9家企业在榜单中“升级”，这其中大部分是由于这些店表示不再使用抗生素来饲养家禽（鸡）。

报道指出，即便在鸡肉饲养上减少使用抗生素取得了一些进展，但是，时至今年不在牛肉和猪肉上使用抗生素的企业依然少得可怜。

并无改进汉堡王等多家知名企业去年就排名最低

此次是这一机构联盟第二个针对抗生素方面的年度报告，当年这份报告为美国最大的25家快餐店和“快速休闲”餐厅的肉类和禽类供应链中使用抗生素的问题敲响了警钟。

去年这一机构联盟的报告中，25家受调查店面中，有20家在A-F的评级中排名垫底，得到最低“F”的评分，占比高达8成。这一评分表明，这些企业允许其肉类供应商在日常中使用抗生素。

法晚记者发现，去年排名垫底的企业，在今年仍有部分处于垫底位置。去年垫底的企业包括汉堡王、DQ冰雪皇后、达美乐比萨、星巴克、棒约翰比萨和塔可钟（tacobell）等。

报告发起机构之一地球之友的高级项目经理卡里·哈默什拉格表示，从培根汉堡到炸鸡块，大部分美国连锁饭店供应的肉类都来自工业化设备下饲养的动物。而这些企业都经常性地使用抗生素来预防在拥挤、不卫生的条件下很容易传播的疾病。

“是时候让我们的餐饮企业做出领头示范作用，解决对抗生素耐药性不断增长的危机。这些企业应该与它们的肉类和家禽类供应商一起协作，消除日常中抗生素的使用，改进美国肉类生产的整体环境。”他说道。

健康威胁耐药性细菌每年夺走70万人的生命

《每日邮报》报道称，耐药性细菌现在每年夺走70万人的生命。全球公共健康官员警告，如果不限制对抗生素的使用，这一数字在2050年将达到每年100万人。

去年发布的这一报告曾写道：“畜牧业养殖者定期为自己的牲畜注射抗生素，会导致细菌产生抵抗力并大量繁殖，甚至扩展到我们的社会，从而产生更大的抗生素抗药性问题。抗药性问题的加剧意味着，在我们最需要抗生素的时候它们可能不再有效。”

不过，在这些“潜在灾难性”数据下的驱动力，是人们肆无忌惮地使用抗生素来治疗一些轻微的传染病以及用来饲养动物。结果可能会导致像大肠杆菌（感染）这样的病症不久后就变得不可治愈。

对此，报告指出，现在每年生产的七成抗生素，通常用在牲畜和家禽身上。而高达96%的这些药物通常被投放在饲料或是水中，用在那些生病而无法提高生长速度的动物身上，使得这些动物们能够在拥挤、不卫生的工业化农场中生存下来。这样的行为导致人类抗药性感染的流行病不断增多。

来自美国自然资源保护委员会的高级卫生官员大卫·瓦林佳表示，在肉类生产中抗生素的过度使用，促进了抗药性超级细菌的产生。“我们国家的最大型连锁餐厅可以成为问题的一部分，也可以成为解决问题的一部分。”瓦林佳说，如果餐厅想要将自己的产品打造成“更加健康”的选择，就需要担负起特别的责任，通过降低抗生素的使用来提升其形象。消费者希望食用没有使用抗生素肉类的观念正在使市场发生改变，而如果企业依然持续一意孤行的话，那么将会被甩在后面。

连线作者不应该给动物使用抗生素？

食品动物担忧信托机构相关负责人史蒂芬·劳什告诉《法制晚报》记者，首先需要声明的是，我们并不是反对在动物身上使用抗生素，而是反对在没有生病的动物上也使用抗生素。而位列F等级的企业意味着，这些公司允许其肉类供应商即便在（动物）没有生病的情况下也使用抗生素。一些F级的企业禁止使用抗生素用于促进生产，但是为了预防疾病却允许其在健康的动物上使用。

在承诺提供全面没有抗生素的肉类上，不同的公司做法不同，一些公司积极地考虑，而一些公司则没有做出任何的改变意思。

劳什表示，今年报告披露的快餐企业最大问题，就是大部分企业仍然允许其供应商，在没有生病动物中经常性地使用抗生素。这导致了超级细菌的产生，对人类健康造成了严重威胁。而这些超级细菌已经增加了医疗成本以及健康风险。

为何仍有那么多企业存在问题？

劳什称，这些问题企业从没减少在使用抗生素的供应商中购买肉，而且没有寻求新的供应商或是要求现有的供应商做出改变，这就是原因所在。

食品安全中心有机和动物政策高级经理卡梅伦·哈什接受法晚记者采访时表示，很多做得不够的公司，似乎想得最多的是公司盈亏，还有就是能够拿到尽可能便宜的肉。为了促进生产和疾病预防，从而对抗生素进行日常性地使用，人为降低肉类成本。

涉事公司对此作何反应？

地球之友高级项目经理卡里·哈默什拉格表示，目前还没有任何公司对这一报告作出回应。我们希望越来越多的公司在今年能够宣布相关政策。

排名垫底F的企业，在降低日常性抗生素使用上并没有采取任何的措施。我们并不清楚实际的肉类中是否含有抗生素，但是知道在肉类生产中使用大量抗生素制造了超级细菌，这对抗生素治疗产生了抵抗性，这是主要的公共健康危机。

这些企业是肉类购买的大户，它们需要承担起解决这一危机的责任。之所以这么多公司做得还不够多，是因为其将公司利益置于公共健康之上。

企业距离“完全无抗生素肉类”还有多远？

哈什表示，这得看每个公司。对于那些对调查没有回应或是没有与我们沟通的企业，我们并不清楚它们是否在肉类和家禽供应中解决了抗生素的问题。这也是我们所担忧，并想要在未来进一步采取行动的原因。

劳什告诉法晚记者，作为消费者，应该避免食用那些在肉类供应链中没有降低抗生素使用公司的产品，要求这些公司禁止在没有生病的动物上使用抗生素。
