I have never heard anyone suggest that the meat sold by the meat industry contains antibiotics, and from some quick googling, it seems like US federal regulations require that meat is "antibiotics-free" (meaning antibiotic levels below some threshold), and they regularly screen the meat https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2019/pork-essentially-free-of-veterinary-drug-residues/ https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2019...
I didn't find what exactly the regulatory limit for "antibiotics-free" is, but from a glance, this looks like a non-issue.
Now over-use of antibiotics in meat production is obviously a huge problem for other reasons, namely that it breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria.
