In a statement, Zach Corrigan, Senior Staff Attorney at Food & Water Watch said, “Despite what it publicly claims, Tyson workers are far from safe. In fact, they’re among the most often and most seriously injured workers in America. Consumers have a legal right to fair and honest claims regarding the products they might buy, and Tyson is clearly failing to meet this standard. The FTC needs to act now and compel Tyson to tell the alarming truth about the worker safety and public health impacts of its products.”

Magaly Licolli, Director of Venceremos said, “It’s completely unacceptable to allow Tyson to continue misleading consumers and the public about how they treat workers. The FTC must investigate Tyson’s advertising and compel them to either remove unsupported claims about the work environment or act immediately and adequately to support those claims, providing the necessary conditions for worker’s health and safety.”
