Is using growth promotants to produce beef safe and healthy?
The use of growth promotants does not impact the safety, nutritional value or healthfulness of the beef we produce. The safety of the use of growth promotants is assured by the product approval procedures required by the Food and Drug Administration, as well as by the ongoing testing policies and procedures administered by the Food Safety Inspection Service, a division of the USDA. The FSIS regularly tests for residues in meat that would indicate misuse. Violative residues have not been found.
