加州弗雷斯諾(KFSN)- - -美國第三大家禽生產(chǎn)商普渡食品公司說,普渡約95%的雞不再使用抗生素,。此舉贏得了很多人贊同。
普渡食品說他們會(huì)接納消費(fèi)者的意見,他們理解到人們對(duì)在動(dòng)物身上過度使用抗生素的擔(dān)憂,但并不是每個(gè)人都相信他們的立場,有人這只是于事無補(bǔ),。

鮑威爾告訴ABC記者說,“我很容易對(duì)各種各樣的東西有皮疹和過敏反應(yīng)，所有吃的東西越新鮮越好,，我們大家都需要關(guān)心我們自己的身體,。”
吉姆·貝爾徹老板說,人們未來都會(huì)去買有機(jī)食物的,。他賣了近40年天然食品,。當(dāng)我們問他關(guān)于普渡停用抗生素一事，他說自己從來不買那玩意,。
他說這只是他們的一個(gè)營銷概念,即使孵化場不用激素,、抗生素，但可能在飼料中添加,。貝爾徹說,民眾也他們吃到肚子里的東西到底怎么樣,，民眾自己也不清楚，但他對(duì)自己貨架的東西卻自信滿滿,。他向我們展示自己的產(chǎn)品,說“產(chǎn)品不含人工抗生素,不含防腐劑,沒有添加激素,，絕對(duì)純天然。”
ABC新聞首席衛(wèi)生和醫(yī)學(xué)編輯Richard Besser博士說這才是正路,。“普渡邁進(jìn)了一大步,。我希望看到其他的大型家禽生產(chǎn)商也能緊隨其后,說他們也停用了。”
普渡說大約95%的雞停用人工抗生素,，并且它們的孵化場也一樣停用,。吉姆·貝爾徹告訴我們?cè)谀脕砼腼兊臅r(shí)候才能真正區(qū)別自然生養(yǎng)和使用抗生素的雞。貝爾徹說:“這兩種味道是不一樣的,這東西騙不了你,。”
普渡當(dāng)然希望將以此推動(dòng)更多的顧客選擇他們的產(chǎn)品,。在一次新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上,普渡食品表示,它不會(huì)給飼料添加人工抗生素，只有在獸醫(yī)診斷時(shí)才會(huì)用到,。
PERDUE FOODS SAYS ITS CHICKEN HATCHERIES ARE NOW ANTIBIOTIC-FREE

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The nation's third largest poultry producer says it's no longer using human antibiotics in about 95 percent of its chickens. It's a move that many are applauding.

Perdue foods says they listened to consumers and say they recognize the concerns about the overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture, but not everyone believes their stance and here locally, some say it doesn't change a thing.

We found Diane Powell in the aisle at Kristina's Natural Ranch Market in Northeast Fresno. She says she spends extra time and money on foods without additives.

Powell told ABC30, "I am very susceptible to rashes and allergic reactions from all kinds of things so fresh is better. We all need to be concerned about what we put in our bodies."

Owner Jim Belcher says organics are the future. He's been selling and promoting natural foods for nearly 40 years. When we asked him about Perdue's move away from antibiotics he said, "I don't buy it." He says it's just a marketing concept and that the hormones -- and antibiotics will be present in other places like feed. Belcher says the public is uneducated about what we put in our bodies and he truly stands behind the products on his shelves. He showed us the products, saying there's "no artificial antibiotics ever, no preservatives, raised without added hormones."

Doctor Richard Besser, chief health and medical editor for ABC News says that is the way to go. "This is a big step Perdue is taking. I would love to see the other big poultry producers following suit and saying we're going to get on board too."

Perdue says it's halted the use of human antibiotics with about 95 percent of its chickens and says it's not using them in its hatcheries either. Jim Belcher tells us the real difference between natural and antibiotic raised chickens is in the way it cooks. Belcher says "The taste, you cannot believe the taste."

Perdue certainly hopes that difference will drive more customers towards their product. In a press release, Perdue foods says it does not add human antibiotics to chicken feed and says antibiotics will only be given when prescribed by a veterinarian.
