Is it okay to eat meat that has been injected with antibiotics?
assistant
It is important to follow the instructions on any medication you take, including when and how to take it. Injecting animals with antibiotics can be a way to treat illnesses in livestock, but it also contributes to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming more common and can cause serious infections in humans. So it is best to avoid eating meat that has been injected with antibiotics.
