More food-related news today – Pork products from Ireland are being pulled off shelves wherever its sold as cancer-causing dioxins were found in them.Ireland is major producer of pork, and it exports them to countries like England, Scotland and Wales.
Animal feed contaminated with these dioxins were understood to have been the cause.
But a professor Alan Boobis, from the Department of Health Toxicology Unit at Imperial College London, said studies suggested that dioxins do not have the same impact on human genes as they do on animals
So do you want to take his word for it? He looks knowledgeable enough to make an accurate statement, though I also believe that safety cannot be taken for granted.
