The latest Save our Antibiotics report finds supermarket antibiotics policies frequently only cover their own-brand ranges, and so branded products and imported foods can still contain animal products that have been produced on farms with irresponsible antibiotic use

Cóilín Nunan of Save our Antibiotics said: “To avoid misusing antibiotics, and to keep animals healthy, supermarkets must now take strong and urgent action to improve animal husbandry and welfare.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

Only 5 out of 11 leading UK supermarkets regularly publish data on their suppliers' antibiotic usage. Transparency on antibiotic usage helps drive down antibiotic use. So we encourage all supermarkets to publish accurate and meaningful data on their antibiotic use.

8 out of 11 leading UK supermarkets restrict the use of the highest-priority critically important antibiotics (HPCIAs). UK farm use of HPCIAs has fallen by over 80% in recent years. This shows how supermarket action can help achieve more responsible antibiotic use.

Fast-growing breeds of chickens don't just suffer from serious welfare issues, they require more antibiotics than slower-growing breeds. M&S and Waitrose & Partners are the only supermarkets to commit to only selling healthier slower-growing breeds. Save our Antibiotics

Findings by Save our Antibiotics: 💊 M&S Morrisons only supermarkets with full ban on suppliers using colistin 💊 Colistin is drug of last resort in human medicine & usually reserved to treat bacteria, e.g. E. coli, resistant to other antibiotics buff.ly/3THix5N

New report by Save our Antibiotics shows supermarkets are failing to comply with new laws making it *illegal* to prop up poor animal welfare with antibiotics. We need to change, for our own sakes and for the animals.

This new book includes a chapter by Cóilín Nunan of Save our Antibiotics on intensive farming and the antibiotic resistance crisis.

"The growing hunger for meat is increasing demand for livestock and use of antibiotics – some of which are used to treat animals that are not sick, sometimes as a substitute for keeping them in clean conditions, Davies said." #farmantibiotics #AMR theguardian.com/society/2024/n…

Welcome progress has been made over the past decade, but it is disappointing that use in pigs increased by 18% in 2023. Improvements to husbandry are urgently needed. The VMD should introduce mandatory antibiotic-use data collection, as there is still no good data for ruminants.

"The world needs to urgently end the use of antibiotics for growth promotion and for routine disease prevention" Cóilín Nunan, Scientific Advisor, Save our Antibiotics on combating AMR. #WAAW2024 #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR

A Soil Association and Save our Antibiotics study found that 16 of 20 leading UK restaurant chains have an antibiotic policy, but many of these policies were very weak. More details here soilassociation.org/blogs/2024/dec…

When our reporter climbed onto the fence of the farm connected to much of the beef on our plates, he saw cattle standing in waste “I smelled the farm long before I saw it,” writes Andrew Wasley “Many of the animals were caked in excrement and muck” 👇 thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-0…

Nearly 72% of Campylobacter jejeuni infections in humans in the EU are now resistant to fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Scientific evidence shows this is mainly due to the EU's refusal to ban the use of fluoroquinolones in poultry. efsa.europa.eu/en/news/bacter…

When 2024 UK pig antibiotic use is published in late Spring, it is expected to show a rise over 2023. This follows an 18% increase in 2023. Save our Antibiotics believes that better husbandry is needed to reduce swine dysentery and post-weaning diarrhoea. mrcvs.co.uk/en/news/24235/…

It's disappointing to see that European farm antibiotic sales increased by 4% in 2023 compared with 2022. The first EU report on farm antibiotic sales and use has no data on use by species as most countries failed to collect complete data. ema.europa.eu/en/news/first-…

"Cóilín Nunan, scientific adviser at the Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics, said the prevalence of fast-growing chicken breeds “leads to higher levels of antibiotic use” on farms, which “contributes to antibiotic resistance”." #antibiotics #AMR inews.co.uk/news/diseased-…

Fewer UK animal antibiotic sales tied to drop in resistant E coli in pigs, poultry. Study authors say "To further reduce the spread of AMR, funding other areas of research will be beneficial, such as investigating best farm practices" cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobial-…

A study funded by the UK government estimates #AMR could cost the global economy $1.7tn a year by 2050. But the UK gov has recently ended funding for the Fleming Fund which helps LMICs improve surveillance and minimise AMR. Short-term thinking! theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
