Quantcast
Contaminated Irish Beef Not In Food Chain PDF Print E-mail

A recent scare regarding contaminated pork in Ireland propelled a recall from 21 countries worldwide. Over a week ago, contamination of Irish beef also blew up in the news when cow feed infected by cancer-causing dioxins was supplied to farms. It all came from unlicensed oil used in the processing of feed breadcrumbs, and it was reported that the dioxin levels in beef where 2 to 3 times above safe limits.

Well, it turns out the dioxin levels are 100 to 400 times higher than legal limits. Still, European food experts are saying that only 21 cattle farms for sure used the feed and none of the beef went into the food chain, and 30 suspected cattle farms have been publicly cleared for slaughter. In other words, the dioxins were at high levels but they won't be affecting the public. As usual, it's still a little scary...

It is a contoured base that conforms,memoryfoam-like,to your foot so that you almost feel like the shoes was made for you.It is then reinforced to provide extra support.The bottom tier is a combination of th "Classis" and the "Pods" that are seperated in the flat version of the shoes.

UGG Ultra Short shoe feel very good, but there is no rupture, breakage. http://www.love-ugg.com/products_all.html

Are you an Envirovore?

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
