Arsenic and mellow chicken

2012-04-05 17:32:54.413252+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Evidence of banned antibiotics, arsenic, acetaminophen and diphenydramine in commercial poultry:

In a joint study, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) and Arizona State University found evidence suggesting that a class of antibiotics previously banned by the U.S. government for poultry production is still in use. Results of the study are published in Environmental Science & Technology.
