The fast-food chain has announced that it will soon allow certain antibiotics to be used in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.

        The chicken has always been moist-soggy. This was fine when everyone else had dry as fuck chicken. Now everyone else has figured out the moist-crispy sandwich and CFA just isn’t that great.

            Entirely depends on when you go. At peak hours they’re frying chicken and packing sandwiches in advance, which means the unbreathable pouch they wrap and close off the sandwiches in cause the chicken to get VERY soggy if they aren’t sold quickly.

            I said yes. I’m not sure what is so hard to understand. The food there is horrible. It OK if you think its not that bad.

              I mean, I don’t believe you. Their chicken is known to be good. Not just my opinion. Saying otherwise puts you in the small minority, and I think you’re only saying it because you hate their politics.

                No evidence hits quite as hard as ‘people are saying it’ 🙄 totally disproves the soggy chicken comments people are also saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                You can’t debate someone into liking a shitty product

                  I’m not debating, I’m calling them a liar

                  I am also laughing at this weird gen Z trend of having to pretend that if a company’s practices are horrible, their product must be horrible. “Starbucks coffee sucks” lol my dude, if you don’t like caramel flavored ice cream with whipped cream on top with a shot of espresso blended in, that is a you problem.

                  Or like every time there’s a vegan thread “yeah burgers are gross anyway” uh huh sure.

                  I think you’re all lying in an attempt to fit in.

                I’ve heard they were good and tried it a couple of times. It was the worst fast food I’ve ever had. The worst was some little cafe in WInnepeg where they gave me fried eggs instead of scrambled. When I asked for scrambled, they took it in back and chopped up the fried egg, and cooked it a little more. That does not make scrambled eggs.
