For God’s sake, what’s wrong with this country?
Several years ago, independent testing found arsenic compounds in storebought chicken, including a certified organic brand. This is linked to a compound called roxaresone that’s added to chicken feed to — theoretically? – help keep confined poultry healthy.
Now, there’s a family in Utah with a backyard coop and two young kids with arsenic poisoning. Kids eat home grown chicken eggs (healthier, right?) and absorb arsenic.
Seriously: Ban roxarsone now. Full story at Grist.
