Supermarket Superbugs
We are facing a huge crisis
Ground-breaking new research has revealed soaring levels of antibiotic resistance on pig and chicken meat from seven major UK supermarkets. Overuse of antibiotics in farming is contributing to deadly drug resistance - a crisis predicted to kill one person every 3 seconds by 2050. You have the power to stop this, by taking action right now. This catastrophe is now unfolding before us, and supermarkets have remained silent for too long. Tell supermarkets to crack down on antibiotic abuse in their supply chains.
