Tyson Foods Inc (NYSE:TSN) is reportedly scaling back its antibiotic-free beef products following a similar move with chicken last year.
The company informed a major customer in late 2023 that it would no longer supply antibiotic-free beef and would limit its Open Prairie Natural Meats brand starting in January, according to a report from Bloomberg. Tyson’s decision reflects a broader shift in its product offerings.
Two decades ago, Tyson began producing some antibiotic-free beef in response to consumer demand. However, rising costs and increased regulations have made this approach less feasible.
