| NO to Ractopamine! | April 20, 2013 |
Johnston’s does NOT use Ractopamine!
Ractopamin is a drug that is used as a feed additive in swine for lean growth promotion. It is banned in several countries around the world, but not in Canada. Johnston’s wants to clarify that we do NOT add Ractopamine to our hog feed.
