Comment Comment by jacobian This is not true. Growth hormones are not approved for us in chickens by the FDA. All chicken sold in the US is hormone free.See, eg, https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Are-hormones-used-for-livesto...: “No steroid hormones are approved for use in poultry”It’s certainly true that today’s meat birds are MUCH bigger than heritage breeds, but that’s a result of selective breeding, not hormones. parent jacobian 4 years ago
