WWF: Do not buy Thai chicken – Västerbotten Courier

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) banishes the Thai chicken meat since the Thai producers use too much antibiotics in livestock farming, according to the WWF. The call comes at the launch of the annual Meat Guide. Much of the Thai chicken meat supplied to caterers in the public sector and to restaurants, says WWF’s Secretary General Hakan Wirtén.

– Thai chicken is a pretty big part of the chicken eaten in Sweden today, and is often the anonymous meat that you do not know where it comes from. The risk is that if you over use of antibiotics will be getting resistant strains and bacteria, and then we risk being left without medicines for both common and serious diseases, he said.

The WWF would like consumers to a greater extent be ask where the meat in restaurants comes from, something that is common with fish.
