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.

> Maybe if we werent feeding our crops to our gas tanks, we wouldnt need feed from China.
We have enough to fill our gas tanks and our bellies both. But food manufacturers have a problem paying five cents more per pound of meal. And the reason the ChiComs can offer it for less is because they have slave wages and no quality control.
If they labelled food correctly we would have no problem letting the market decide that Chinese crap would gather an inch of dust on store shelves.
You’re right. We REALLY need plain, understandable food labeling. What we’ve got instead is very little MSM reporting on this, and even less interest from most of the elites on the Hill.
Cute. But if these companies knew this stuff was bad and sold it anyway, that’s a crime, and they should pay for that crime.
Do you think they shouldn’t?
> And if you want that lettuce a nickle cheaper or your house painted for slave wages, just accept all them illegal aliens.
Oh hey why not just reinstitute slavery? Why should a few pesky Consitutional amendments stand in the way of more profit?
Good for them! We should be able to grow plenty of our own catfish — especially down in the South.
HA! (took me a second)
Some politicians with @alls....
I can't answer that. One wonders, huh?
Thanks for the ping Lucy.
We have been fed lies from the start. I read where Menu food got word of pets getting sick way last summer. Then, (suddenly) in March a recall. But nationwide there is only 17 pet deaths. Well, counting the death of my dog and my son’s dog, that leaves 15.
There are thousands of dead pets.
Then there was only one pig farm in CA. with toxic pigs, then we find there are 6, (oh really, only 6).
Then one chicken farm in Missouri with toxic chicken, then suddenly there are 38 in IN. alone, who knows how many more.
Lies, lies, lies.

So when are the statistics coming out?
They will lie about that also.
Disgusting.
Hmm, seems the ChiComs may not need to use that missile technology that the Clintonoids sold them. They have found an easier, more subtle way.
It would make more sense to feed the Chinese grain to our gas tanks, but then the Chinese would be the beneficiary of the artificially high grain prices. By the way, I think it’s corn that is going in the gas tanks and wheat protein that is being bought from China.
The FDA reported these as the nationwide toll when in fact there have been thousands of pet deaths.
You mean fructose also comes from China??
How come it does say on the food label?
I thought they were supposed to tell us?
Including my cat.
You mean fructose also comes from China??
How come it does NOT say on the food label?
I thought they were supposed to tell us?
I’m so sorry about your cat.
As VictoryGal stated:
"If they labelled food correctly we would have no problem letting the market decide that Chinese crap would gather an inch of dust on store shelves."
It seems the Chinese may have poisoned our food supply on an industrial scale. A strategic nuclear strike shouldn’t be out of the question.
Thank you, Sun.
