Walmart wants its food suppliers to put an end to the inhumane treatment of animals and the overuse of antibiotics. Walmart, which is the largest food retailer in the US, said today that it would urge its suppliers to support what are known as the "five freedoms" of animal welfare, which include raising animals in environments that keep them free from fear, hunger, discomfort, sickness, and confined spaces. It also said that it wants suppliers to cease using antibiotics for growth purposes and to adopt voluntary FDA guidelines that limit the use of medically important antibiotics.
