KAW coalition one of "Winners of 2003"

In its January 5, 2004 issue, the food industry trade journal, "Food Chemical News," cited the Keep Antibiotics Working coalition as one of the "winners" of 2003 for "getting the legislation it is backing, the Snowe-Kennedy bill, introduced in the Senate (S 1460) and in the House (HR 2932). The measure would prohibit the routine use of medically important antibiotics in healthy food animals. Other victories the coalition racked up in 2003 included McDonald's new policy to prohibit the use of growth promoters by its poultry suppliers, as well as the introduction of another bill (H.R. 3022) that would prohibit fluoroquinolone-treated poultry from being purchased for federal school lunch programs."
