It is safe to eat pork and chicken from animals whose feed was mixed with contaminated pet food that sickened or killed cats and dogs, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said in Chicago. Testing found that the contaminant, the industrial chemical melamine, was so diluted that any human exposure from the meat or eggs of the animals would be thousands of times lower than the level considered safe, Mr. Johanns said in comments to the Organic Trade Association. Based on the testing, the government lifted a quarantine on nearly all of the 20 million chickens held from market last week after the feed contamination was discovered. Those animals now may be slaughtered and enter the food supply. About 6,000 hogs still were being held pending additional testing. More Dog Care News…
