Good.is had a post called Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Turkey. From number five:
Antibiotics are standard additions to commercially blended poultry feed. (So are corn, hydrolyzed feather meal, and blood meal). Hormones are not, but you can still find the label “no hormones” as long as manufacturers add the USDA-mandated disclaimer: “Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones.” Turkeys aren’t protected by the federal Humane Slaughter Act, and they’re often stunned in electrocuted water baths before being decapitated.
How’s that Thanksgiving meal sitting on your stomach?
