## Story

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.
