FDA TO FINALLY ORDER REMOVAL OF ARSENIC IN ANIMAL FEED - ARSENIC MADE MEAT LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE TO CONSUMERS

 

Thus far arsenic was used to fatten livestock on less feed while providing a ‘healthy’ color to the meats we purchase in the grocery store.

It took a lawsuit to make FDA pay attention. 

 

 

In order to get the FDA’s attention in this matter, a lawsuit was filed by Center for Food Safety(CFS), the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) and seven other U.S. food safety, agriculture, public health and environmental groups.

 

In it they require the immediate withdrawal of arsenic-containing feed used to fill numerous animals to fatten them for slaughter.

 

A report conducted by the IATP estimated that more than 70% of all the meat consumed in fast-food establishments and purchased at grocery stores contained unhealthy levels of arsenic.

 

After a 4-year petition to try and convince the FDA that arsenic-laced additives used to feed our chickens, turkeys, and hogs should be removed immediately, the government institution is finally paying attention.
