“Feds: Millions have eaten chickens fed tainted pet food”
POSTED: 4:23 p.m. EDT, May 2, 2007

SNIPPET: “• Chickens in possibly hundreds of farms may have been fed tainted food
• Likelihood of human illness after eating such chicken is “very low”
• No human illness linked to the tainted feed reported to FDA, USDA”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “NEW YORK (CNN) — People have eaten millions of chickens that were given feed tainted with recalled pet food, federal officials said Tuesday, though they said the threat to human health is minimal.

The announcement came after an investigation of chicken farms in Indiana found that 38 of the facilities had given contaminated feed to poultry raised for human consumption, and that 2.5 million to 3 million people ate them.

The officials added that they expect to discover that chickens on possibly hundreds of farms in other states were also given tainted feed.”
