WASHINGTON, July 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Keep Antibiotics Working coalition released the following clarification today regarding their news release, "Keep Antibiotics Working Praises FDA's First Ever Ban of Agricultural Drug Due to Antibiotic- Resistance Effects in Humans," transmitted July 28 at 1:55 p.m. EDT:
"Please note that the news release distributed yesterday about the FDA ban on Cipro-like antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) mistakenly listed ConAgra as one of the poultry producers that no longer uses fluouroquinolones to treat chickens raised for human consumption. ConAgra sold their chicken business in 2003 to Pilgrim's Pride.".
