Hormones and antibiotics are used in food production in many countries. Hormones occur naturally in all animals, humans and plants. Clearly there is no such thing as hormone-free meat. However, labels with no added growth hormone mean that no added hormones were used during manufacture. In some countries, growth hormones are only used in cows for beef production. This is because it helps cows convert their feed into muscle more quickly and easily and produces leaner beef at a lower cost to consumers.
Animal health is a paramount concern for farmers. Antibiotics are medications used by farmers under veterinary supervision. They are generally used to treat sick animals, prevent diseases in livestock and fruit crops, and promote growth in some animals. Antibiotics are approved for use in cattle, chickens, turkeys, pigs, and fish. They are also sprayed on fruit trees and given to honeybees. All antibiotics used on farm animals must meet strict standards for human and animal safety. However, there are concerns that antibiotic use in animals may lead to antibiotic resistance in humans.
