Just a few months after pork groups ran a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal chastising Subway for its call for an antibiotic-free meat supply, the largest meat company in the US is launching an antibiotic-free (and hormone and gestation crate-free) pork line. The move could make Tyson Foods one of the largest—if not the largest—antibiotic-free pork supplier in the country.
