Recently, there have been reports that a report issued by a number of institutions disclosed the use of antibiotics by more than 20 well-known fast food chains.
Among them, Starbucks, Burger King, and DQ Ice Queen are among the lowest F grades.
It is also said that McDonald’s will be in the United States.

Suddenly, the problem of antibiotics in meat products was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and many people began to worry about whether the meat in the bowl could be eaten with confidence
.
Why use antibiotics in animals? Are antibiotic residues terrible? Can I eat it with confidence?
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics, also called antibacterial drugs, include antibiotics and synthetic antibacterial drugs, which can kill bacteria or prevent the growth of bacteria, and can be used to prevent and treat bacterial infections
.
Among them, the antibacterial drugs used on animals are "veterinary antibacterial drugs".
Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, cephalosporins and other antibiotics, as well as synthetic antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, and quinoxalines
.
What is used on humans is human antibiotics

Why use antibiotics in the process of farming?
In the process of animal breeding, the main purpose of using antibiotics is to prevent animals from getting sick
.
.
Just like humans, animals can get sick
.
Many pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli O157, Salmonella paratyphi, etc.
, not only infect animals, but also infect humans through the food chain
.
Due to our growing demand for meat, we need to adopt an industrialized centralized breeding model
.
But with high-density farming, diseases can easily spread
.
Once a farmed animal becomes sick, it will not only cause animal death, economic loss, but even humans will suffer from disease
.
The rational use of antibiotics in the breeding process can not only ensure the healthy growth of animals, reduce the probability of animal and human diseases, but also protect our food safety and human health
.
It can be said that the emergence and use of antibiotics not only prevent and control animal diseases, but also contribute to human health

.
Another purpose of using antibiotics is to promote animal growth
.
It has been found that certain antibiotics can increase the rate of animal meat production at low doses, but the mechanism is not clear
.
The possible reason is that by changing the structure of the animal’s gastrointestinal flora, it affects the fermentation, digestion and absorption of feed, thereby increasing the feed conversion rate
.
However, the use of antibiotics is not the better.
Some studies have found that increasing the use of antibiotics after a certain amount does not further improve the feed conversion rate, but farmers may not know this

Are antibiotic residues terrible?
The application of antibiotics in modern agriculture is inevitable at the current level of science and technology.
The so-called completely antibiotic-free meat, eggs, and milk are almost non-existent, and they are not necessarily safer
.
Just imagine, what if it is animal meat that has died of illness without timely treatment?

Of course, consumers are most worried about whether "antibiotic residues" are harmful
.
In fact, the use of antibiotics is not completely unlimited, and you can use it whatever you want
.
All countries in the world have strict restrictions on the use of antibiotics
.
Taking China as an example, China also has its own strict regulations on antibacterial drugs approved for use as veterinary drugs

.
China requires that all antibiotics must go through strict approval procedures before being approved for use, and relevant pharmacy, safety and efficacy tests must be completed, and the production and use must be approved after strict evaluation and review
.
In addition, China also stipulates that veterinary antibiotics must be used in a standardized manner
.
The so-called standardized use means that the veterinary antibiotic products used must be approved by the national veterinary administrative department and used in strict accordance with the product label and instructions, including the use of animal objects, indications, usage and dosage, and drug withdrawal period
.

.
It can be considered that as long as it is used in accordance with the requirements of safety standards and strictly abided by the provisions of the withdrawal period, the amount of antibiotic residues in the meat is not enough to threaten human health.
A chicken containing antibiotics can also be a good chicken

Does McDonald's use anti-resistant chickens in the United States?
The report also stated that McDonald's uses antibiotic-free chickens in the United States, but continues to use antibiotic-free chickens in China
.
is this real?
.
is this real?
In fact, what McDonald's stopped using in the United States is only "chickens that have used human antibiotics", not chickens that do not use antibiotics at all
.
.
Antibiotics are divided into veterinary antibiotics and human antibiotics
.
If the two are not used across borders, the bacterial resistance to veterinary antibiotics is not a big threat to humans
.
But if this antibiotic is used in both animals and humans, the resistance of bacteria evolved in animals will affect humans
.
This harm will be great
.
Therefore, when formulating policies and regulations, countries need to separate human antibiotics from veterinary antibiotics as much as possible

However, in production practice, due to cost, ease of use, safety and other considerations, there may still be some overlap

However, in order to reduce possible antibiotic resistance, McDonald's stopped using "chickens that have used human antibiotics", and veterinary antibiotics are not banned

The real danger of antibiotic residues is drug resistance
Since antibiotic residues are not inherently safe, why should we pay so much attention to it? In fact, if there are more antibiotic residues, what really threatens us is not the residue itself, but antibiotic resistance, and the abuse of antibiotics will increase antibiotic resistance
.
.
The most direct manifestation of antibiotic resistance is the inability of existing antibiotics to work
.
In the past 90 years, antibiotics have become a good medicine for many diseases, and many diseases can be cured with a little antibiotic
.
But once the bacteria develop resistance, the existing antibiotics cannot kill the bacteria.
The direct consequence is that you are at a loss and no medicine is available for some diseases
.
Imagine: If the antibiotics that can now be used to fight infections and diseases suddenly all fail one day, how dangerous it would be? A small appendix surgery or just a pneumonia can also become fatal

In fact, due to the abuse of antibiotics, the resistance of bacteria is becoming more and more serious, and the resistance of some commonly used antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic drugs is also becoming more and more serious.
This is what we need to be vigilant

Fighting antibiotic resistance requires global action
If we do not take action on the issue of antimicrobial resistance now, no medicine will become a reality
.
For this reason, all countries in the world have strict policy controls on the use of antibiotics

This year, under the joint initiative of the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Organization for Animal Health, the 71st UN General Assembly held a high-level summit in New York on September 21 to make a commitment to the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.
And set the international agenda
.
China also issued the "National Action Plan for Containing Drug Resistance in Bacteria" earlier, all of which are fighting against drug resistance
.
Of course, fighting off antibiotic resistance is not a day’s work, and we still have a long way to go
