Arkansas/MS situation
Has anyone heard any news in the last few days regarding the
chicken/catfish/eggs that were fed the contaminated feed in Arkansas? I
have heard rumors ("a friend of a friend who works in lab X told me...")
that the quarantine has been released, and that no TCDD levels above 1
ppt were found...
Another question: Any guess whether the FDA/USDA will start mandating
testing for dioxin on a regular basis? It seems like it would be a good
idea, but the Arkansas situation got remarkably little attention outside
of those of us who subscribe to this list, and there was a pretty severe
backlash from farmers and elected officials. Does anybody have any hard
info. on this?
