    The Food Safety Authority has ordered the withdrawal and recall of all Irish pork products dating back to 1 September.

    It follows the discovery of the dioxin PCB in pork at levels between 80 and 200 times the safe limits.

    The public have been advised to destroy all pork products
    purchased since September.

    So all the pork which was consumed in the country since 1 September had the potential to have 80 to 200 times the safe level of PCB? Holy ****.

    What i want to know is why the government, who found out last Monday, waited a week to tell us - I had plenty of pork since Monday last. :mad:

    guess this means no ham at christams with the turkey :(

    this also happened in belgium in 1999.....

    According to the Irish Times website
    The contamination first came to light last Monday but was only confirmed by Government officials today.

    So this could have been dealt with a week ago?? Is there anything this shower can actually do right?? :mad:



    Sorry Lisbon_Lions got there before me.

    At least we can still eat beef, chicken, fish, ham and bacon. It's only pork that's affected right? :)

    surely it's the fault of the HSE
    I'm assuming someone has gotten sick as a result, and they should have picked up on it sooner
