Farmers assure the health of their animals and the meat you eat by following tight restrictions on the use of antibiotics with farm animals. Antibiotics can treat and prevent infections so animals stay healthy and produce good meat and dairy products. Licensed veterinarians supervise their use. If an animal receives antibiotics, the meat, milk or eggs from that animal cannot enter the food supply until the medicine has fully passed through its system.
Farmers care about the health of their animals, just like you care about the health of your family. For more tasty and nutritious dinner options, check out www.hy-vee.com/meal-solutions.
