From today's Times Online:
Irish pigs 'were fed bread still in plastic bags'
What does that tell us about the safety of plastic used for food wrapping, even if it isn't eaten?!
Irish pigs 'were fed bread still in plastic bags'
A farm supplier who allegedly used stale bread still in plastic wrappings for animal feed is being investigated in connection with the dioxin alert in Irish pig meat, The Times has learnt.
The full impact in Britain of the incident over cancer-causing dioxins in pork, bacon, ham and sausages produced north and south of the Irish border is still unclear.
The Food Standards agency and supermarket chiefs are still waiting to hear if pig meat from the Republic and Northern Ireland was used in leading brands such as Wall’s, Porkinson, Pork Farm and Richmond Sausages, owned by the Irish company Kerry Foods.
