Ionophores are mainly used to control a disease in poultry called coccidiosis, maintain intestinal integrity, and help deliver good bird health. According to the report, the World Health Organization does not consider them to be medically important for treating human illnesses. "Based on current science, Tyson branded products are transitioning to No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine which is expected to be complete by the end of the calendar year," a Tyson Foods spokesperson said.
In 2017, the U.S. meatpacker had switched its retail line of company-branded chicken products to birds raised without any antibiotics. Reporting by Shivani Tanna and Gursimran Kaur in Bengaluru; Additional reporting by Chandni Shah; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Lisa Shumaker
