2008Deceptive advertising: Since 2007, Tyson claimed that its chickens were "raised without antibiotics”, a mention which allowed it to increase its chicken sales by more than 10%, a rise of more than 70 million pounds in 2007. Like the other stockbreeders Perdue and Sanderson, the chickens sold by Tyson are however fed with ionophores, antibiotics authorized only for animal feeds. But as those are not authorized in human medicine, Tyson considered that its publicity was not misleading. Pin by the US Department of Agrticulture, Tyson changed its advertising campaign and posted the mention “raised without antibiotic which can be with at origin of bacteria resistant to human antibiotics”. After a complaint of its competitors and an investigation of the Federal court of Baltimore in the United States, the persons in charge of Tyson recognized that human antibiotics were injected into eggs, but that this injection did not contradict publicity since the injection took place before the hatching of the eggs, and hence before the the breeding period which started at the moment of thehatching. Tyson was finally condemned for misleading advertising and will have to remove the posters and advertising booklets of 8500 supermarkets in the United States.: Washington Post
2007Deceptive advertising: Tyson labels fresh chicken as "raised without antibiotics" whereas it uses a feed additive, called ionophores used against coccidiosis an intestinal illness, which is considered a antibiotic by the FDA.: AP
