Feed dioxins 'at 77 times limit'

It turns out that the fats in the feeds have been contaminated at a fats processing plant. The plant processes fats but also prepares similar processed fats for paper manufacture. All white paper has dioxin in it in order to be white. Otherwise it would be brown. Somehow there was a mix up at this fat processing plant and the dioxin laden fats were put into feed. Since there is no safe level for dioxin exposure or regarding  animals or humans, at 77 times the limit is enough when condensed in animal flesh through ongoing consumption of tainted feed to cause stillbirths and deformities in babies from pregnant women or pregnant animals. It also can lead to multiple kinds of cancers both in the animals who ingest this feed and the humans who ingest the meat from the animals like chickens, cows and pigs.

In addition if this meat is sent to other European nations or the U.S. or Canada or around the world this is also a problem for anyone who consumes this meat.
