Determination 135: Gold’N Plump v. WCCO-TV
WCCO-TV, the CBS-owned station in the Twin Cities, broadcast a story on December 9, 2002 suggesting that chickens sold by companies such as Gold’n Plump could be dangerous to eat. One reason: bacteria in chickens treated with antibiotics develop resistance to those drugs, sometimes rendering the same drugs ineffective in treating human beings who get sick from eating those chickens.
