Restaurant report card: What's in your fast food meat?

Restaurant report card: What's in your fast food meat?

Our favorite fast foods could come back to bite us, according to a report released Wednesday -- and it's not just the extra calories.

The new report grades the 25 largest US fast food chains on where they stand on antibiotics.

The results are a mixed bag: For the third year in a row, the only two As were awarded to Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread. More companies passed this year than ever before.

But 11 of the top 25 chains received an F, having taken "no (discernible) action to reduce use of antibiotics in their supply chains."

Given their track record in food safety, whether their meat contains antibiotics is the least of one's concern there.

They should at least offer them as condiments.
