People Want to Eat Meat Raised Without Excessive Antibiotics. Wouldn’t You?

The magazine Consumer Reports is publishing a report and poll on US consumers’ attitudes toward the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. From everyone’s reactions when I write about this, I thought people cared about this issue, but the numbers are a little surprising even to me: 86 percent of shoppers in a nationally representative sample of 1,000 adults said they wanted meat raised without antibiotics to be available in their local supermarkets. Some other key numbers:

• 72 percent of shoppers were concerned about overuse of agricultural antibiotics creating superbugs
• 67 percent worried about routine antibiotic dosing in livestock feed
• 65 percent thought there might be antibiotic residues in meat they consume
• 61 percent worried about antibiotics entering the environment from mega-farm runoff
• 61 percent were willing to spend at least 5 cents more per pound in order to buy meat raised without antibiotics
• 37 percent were willing to spend an additional dollar per pound.   (Tevya’s doesn’t require you to spend an extra dollar, to the contrary!)

We are especially proud of our Marinated Meats that have a special formula of spices and herbs. Tevya’s began creating and testing the perfect seasonings for our special meat products.  Today, all of these efforts have accumulated into one of the finest tasting marinated and seasoned meat products in the region. MSG is never added to marinate the meat.

Our meats are sold at Seasons 6818 Main Street Flushing, NY 11367
