WARNING! If your pork comes from Ireland...

...bin it.

Pork containing 200 times amount of dioxin (PCB) supposed to be safe has been recalled. 15,000 tonnes of it has been shipped here since 1st Sept. (About 5% of the total amount we consume).

An FSA spokesman said...
"From the information that we have at this time, we do not believe there will be a significant risk to UK consumers" (i.e you know break all for sure - so you're for sure saying break all)

Tell your family and mates if I was you. [size=18]200 times[/size] the limit...  :o

How did they contaminate that much feed?. I remember PCB being used in HV capacitors, its got no food value, how the hell did it get in there ?

Sorry for the bump, but if you don't keep up with the news it is important.

Now a UK wide recall.

That's right Albitz, we survived the cold war, the cuban missle crisis, the pollution of the 1950s, and driving on British roads, so a bit of pork won't kill you (yet!) ::) ::) ::)

I say just eat what's in the fridge / freezer and enjoy!! :D :D ;)
