So much for eating pork and chicken. Although PigProgress.net assures us that contaminated pork will not enter food chain:
"The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have jointly announced that hogs found to have eaten feed contaminated with melanine will not be approved to enter the food supply."
…which is good of them and all, but according to The Arizona Daily Star, the FDA reported yesterday that melamine-contaminated hogs may have already done just that:
"UTAH: […] Meat from no more than 100 other hogs from the producer, all processed earlier by that same plant, may have entered the food supply, [Nicol] Andrews said. KANSAS: Meat from 195 hogs from a single producer may have entered the food supply via a Nebraska slaughterhouse."
and:
"a poultry feed mill in an eighth state, Missouri, also received possibly contaminated pet-food scraps left over from production."
Possibly contaminated? How about definitely contaminated, and you're already eating it, and you'll keep on eating it -- AH-HA-HA-HA-HA:
No recall of any products that may still be on store shelves or in people's freezers is planned, officials said.
Anyone care for some Chicken Cordon Bleu? And to wash it down, how about a nice big glass of perchlorate?
