description The growth and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a global health crisis, threatening to create a future in which common infections could once again become life-threatening on a large scale. The overuse of antibiotics in livestock production significantly contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Despite the threat posed to public health, the U.S. lacks effective laws and policies to prevent the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. Fast food restaurants, as some of America's largest meat buyers, can play an instrumental role in pushing meat producers to use antibiotics responsibly. This year's Chain Reaction report and scorecard therefore focuses on antibiotic use policies and practices for beef sold in the top 25 U.S. burger chains. Though not our primary focus, Chain Reaction authors also surveyed and reported on progress related to antibiotic use across all meat and poultry supply chains of the nation's top 25 fast food and fast casual restaurants (some companies overlap between the two scorecards).
