Canadas second-largest burger chain says its beef is now free of hormones, antibiotics and preservatives.
A&W announced this week it is proud to be the first national burger restaurant to serve this better beef, in a move likely to be applauded by advocates of healthier eating.
It was a real challenge to make this happen, A&Ws chief marketing officer, Susan Senecal, told the Vancouver Sun. We wanted to make sure we achieved perfect isolation ... through [the beefs] entire life cycle We wanted to ensure we would be able to track this, and that took a long time.
The presence of hormones and antibiotics in meat has been a subject of controversy. Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulate the amount and type of hormones used, and say the levels found in meat are fit for human consumption. But growth hormones in meat are banned in the EU.
