    I'm more concerned about the fact that Javaboy's post failed to get the correct response.

    Here you all are trying to be funny, all the while ignoring the fact that Javaboy made the ultimate funny reference and nobody got it.

    I can only hope that someone doesn't read the entire thread and decides to reply to the reference in the correct manner.

    Simpsons references are oooold man. I expect a higher standard of jocularity from javaboy, so didn't respond as expected. Its for his own good and the good of AH as a whole that we demand the best from Javaboy. Remember, only buy Irish, organic Javaboy, quality assured. (unlike that pork!)

    I am considering heading to Tescos and convincing them to give me as much as I can stuff in my freezer.

    For anyone around in the 1970s, we've already probably stuffed to the gills with these - just think, they weren't made illegal until 1979.

    I assume retailers will give refunds?

    because there is no risk from the low exposure, people do not need to seek medical help.

    You're all nuts! So what, there's elevated levels of this **** in pork. Big whoop. Before there was any monitoring of levels, how much levels of random **** do you think there was in all the meat eaten? Answer - loads. And nobody gave a **** back then either...

    Secondly, this stuff causes an increased risk of cancer. Newsflash: So does loads of other crap. An increased risk is all - no-one's getting any birth defects anytime soon. And there's no way an elevated dioxin level made someone puke. It's a long term thing, cumulative over years...

    I wonder how many of the people panicking in the last seven pages of threads smoke? That'll give you cancer a hell of a lot quicker than any bloody toxic sausage...

    Finally, the government's known since Monday. Big ****ing deal - I just remarked an hour ago if I was Brian Cowen, there's no ****ing way I'd announce this. I'd keep it hush hush. Look at it this way - damage is done. Stop the elevated levels and say nothing. What does announcing it do, only cause an irreparable kick in the balls to an economy that needs every bit of help it can get. If I was Cowen, I'd find the little prick that leaked it to the media and see if I could give HIM an irreparable kick in the balls...

    So relax people. If you eat that sausage tonight, you're not going to die because of it.

    How many mirrors has Brian Cowen actually broken?

    The government knew of the possibility since last Monday.
    They only confirmed it today.

    Since it would be retarded to tell people to destroy millions of euros worth of produce, and cripple thousands of producers on the basis of a suspision, they decided to wait until they knew for certain.


    I get their reasoning, but I kinda wish they'd put out a flag.
    That said, we don't know how much they had to go on.

    The Hall of Mirrors by the looks of it:D

    FSA has published a list of things to throw out and not eat, pretty obvious.
    The following products could possibly be contaminated.

    Pork

    Bacon

    Rashers

    Pork sausages

    Sausage meat

    Gammon steaks

    Offal from pigs

    Salami

    Ham

    Sausage rolls

    Black pudding

    White pudding

    Ready meals with Irish pork/bacon as an ingredient.

    They've also released an 8 page PDF on the Dioxin

    Most of the pork in Aldi and Lidl is Danish anyways, and a good bit of Tescos. But buy Irish!!!

    Raw mince? Weirdo. I'd say the carbs in sausages are minimal, but perhaps get butchers ones, 100% pork can be found out there you know.

    AArgh - we were in Wexford Halloween weekend and enjoyed full Irish breakfast 3 mornings in a row. Maybe hotels source their pork from a cheaper country, like Brazilian beef and Thai chicken?

    Can't help feeling smug as I have never eaten a single pork product in my life.
