Tainted Feed Discovered In Ireland
Animal feed tainted with the toxin PCB has been discovered on several farms in Ireland say the Irish Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (DAFF).
PCB's, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are virulent organic pollutants that are principally present in food as a result of industrial processes.
Details of the source and extent of the contamination have not been released. The discovery was made “during routine monitoring of the food chain for a range of contaminants,” DAFF said in a statement.
