Dioxins - Typical time to analyse a sample - Milk products

[Emmanuel de Broux <emmanuel.debroux@ping.be>]

Hello, listers,

Despite numerous messages to Belgian newspapers, I still do not know the
typical time it takes to determine the dioxins (+ furans + PCBs) content of
a substance. I guess it is close to two weeks, maybe three.

BTW, Belgian government decided to forbid the sale of milk products, that
is milk, youghourts, all cheeses, etc. Butter had been banned yesterday.
The situation becomes chaotic. But I think the whole case is exacerbated by
a crucial lack of reliable data.

Best regards from an embarrassed Belgian citizen.
