It may be OK to eat squirrels again in one part of northwestern New Jersey.
In January, the state warned hunters and residents near a toxic waste dump in Ringwood to limit their consumption after tests revealed a dead squirrel was contaminated by lead.
Today, officials said it was a false alarm.
The federal EPA said the lead in the squirrel may have come from a part of a blender using in the testing process.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, the EPA admits they are clueless about COC tests! The ban of squirrel limits has been lifted. Squirrel Stew for Thanksgiving!

Always clean out your blender before making your squirrel shake.

“The federal EPA said the lead in the squirrel may have come from a part of a blender using in the testing process.”

Jim Gearhart was all over the irresponsibility of the EPA’s testing procedures.
