TL;DR
Jersey Mike's has introduced antibiotic-free turkey at over 1,200 locations, following similar moves by McDonald's and Boston Market. The company's chief operating officer, Michael Manzo, says the change is in response to consumer demand for cleaner labels.
The sandwich company rolled out antibiotic-free turkey this spring at more than 1,200 locations across the country.
“Consumers are looking for cleaner labels so converting one of our highest-selling products to Antibiotic Free Turkey made perfect sense,” said Michael Manzo, chief operating officer, Jersey Mike’s. “Since 1954, we have been committed to offering an authentic sub sandwich with top-quality ingredients, and this introduction maintains this tradition.”
Jersey Mike’s follows restaurants such as McDonald’s and Boston Market that are phasing out antibiotics in its food.
