Antibiotic Free Meat Business is Booming Thanks to Chipotle
"It's no longer just foodies at farm markets or Whole Foods buying antibiotic-free, pasture-raised meats."
"Increased demand is coming from lots of big players, includingHyatt Hotels; institutional food providers such as Bon Appetit Management Co., which caters to schools and companies; and the fast-food chain Chipotle Mexican Grill. And it's changing the game."
"In fact, this year, Chipotle, which is growing so quickly that it's opening about three new locations each week, will slowly braise and sell about 120 million pounds of naturally raised pork, chicken and beef that meets its antibiotic-free standards."
