US: Food safety bill, no antibiotics rules 03 Aug 2009
The US House of Representatives has passed the food safety legislation without including new rules for the use of antibiotics in livestock.
Including the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2009 (PAMTA) would ban from use in livestock and poultry animal health products that are used to prevent and control diseases much like legislation which has been existing in the EU since January 1, 2006.
does this mean we can still purchase antibotics locally?
