DG of Health Services(DGHS) Mr. Jagdish Prasad has demanded that all small and big fast food chains in India stop using antibiotics in chicken and other food products.
He also demanded strong guidelines for the fast food chains in India so that the issue of health hazards caused by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can be tackled.
Further adding he said “All big and small companies should take the initiative against using antibiotics. There is a need for deadline for small and big fast food chains. In US, there is a restriction to big companies such as McDonalds against using antibiotics.”
