Genetically modified pigs allowed to enter the food supply
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
An Illinois university decided to first run genetic experiments on the pigs, then sell them for use in the human food supply. How's that for ethics?
- WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says an Illinois
university broke food safety laws.
- The school sold offspring of animals used in genetic experiments as
food.
- In February, the FDA found that 386 pigs born from animals used in a
study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign might have
entered the food supply.
- The FDA determined there was no health risk in the pigs being sold as
food and stressed that the organization has never allowed genetically
engineered animals to enter the food supply.
- FDA officials said if the university doesn't respond to the charges in
15 days, the agency could impose fines on the school.
