MythCrusher video challenges notion of “superbugs” on meat & poultry
The term “superbug” has become a popular way to describe any antibiotic resistant bacteria, but a new Meat MythCrusher videochallenges the claim that so called “superbugs” are commonly found on meat and poultry products.
The video features an interview with Mindy Brashears, Ph.D. professor of microbiology and food safety at Texas Tech University. Dr. Brashears challenges claims by activists that “superbugs” are on the rise in meat and poultry products, noting that that USDA data suggests otherwise.
