In an announcement Wednesday, McDonald’s said it will only source “chicken raised without antibiotics that are important to human medicine.”

McDonald’s U.S. restaurants will also offer customers milk from cows that are not treated with rbST, an artificial growth hormone.

“Our customers want food that they feel great about eating — all the way from the farm to the restaurant — and these moves take a step toward better delivering on those expectations,” said McDonald’s U.S. President Mike Andres.
