Beta2 Adrenergic Agonists“The existing testing platforms for antibiotics in meat are expensive, time consuming, or nonexistent. The bulk of antibiotic free meat validation comes from trust between producers and buyers, but not from actual testing.”

Founder of Niman Ranch
"We know that the overuse of antibiotics in meat production is leading to the evolution of antibiotic resistant microbes-- the next pandemic could easily begin on an American feedlot. FoodID is a promising initiative to provide consumers with the information they need to make more informed choices. It should also put pressure on the industry to curb its reckless use of these precious medicines."

"As a chef, I believe that we all should be able to access good, healthy food – nothing mysterious, nothing that we can’t understand. I want to know what’s in the food that I am buying and cooking for my family and at my restaurants. Even chefs and cooks, we sometimes have difficulty knowing if labels are telling the truth … but now thanks to Food ID, that’s changing!"
