Summary
One of the most confusing topics for consumers today is the question of growth hormone use in relation to commercial poultry production. There is no need for consumers to panic because the chicken at the grocery store is healthy and safe to eat, with no exogenous hormones added, regardless of what the label may say. This remains a commonly misunderstood topic despite the fact that there have been no hormones approved for growth purposes in poultry for decades.
