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.

Oh man, given how many chicken wings I eat, I bet I account for a large portion of those millions of chickens. Blah!

Yes, but don’t forget, we paid a nickel less for the chicken since the feed came from China. And that’s all that really matters. /sarcasm

And during the dog food scare I was going to cook chicken and rice for my dog and cat. Only thing that stopped me was the cat does not like "people food".

Maybe if we weren’t paying farmers not to grow crops, we wouldn’t be buying grain from China.

At least it tasted like chicken......

Oh man, given how many chicken wings I eat, I bet I account for a large portion of those millions of chickens. Blah! I would think that the chicken itself would be an effective filter for the melamine it ate.
If the chicken survived, humans would be unaffected.

Don’t bet on organic being free of it.
They (the organic people) certify the corn and soybean meal for feed. I would be surprised if the certify every micro- ingredient in the vitamin/mineral mix that is added to the main corn/soy part of the ration.
