NEW YORK, NY -- At a news conference today in front of Trader Joe's Union Square store in New York City, Consumers Union's Meat Without Drugs campaign called on the national specialty grocer to stop selling meat and poultry raised on antibiotics.
The campaign, which includes more than a dozen consumer, environmental, and animal welfare organizations, delivered a petition to Trader Joe’s signed by nearly 560,000 consumers. The event featured “Joe the Pig,” a costumed character wearing a Trader Joes-style Hawaiian shirt who carried a sign that squealed “Get Me Off Drugs!”
