 FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - The health risk appeared to be "minimal" for people who ate pork from a hog farm where an industrial chemical was found in its animals, state officials said Friday.
Tests of seven urine samples and two feed samples at American Hog Farm in Ceres all came back positive for the chemical, melamine, which has tainted more than 100 brands of dog and cat food, said state Veterinarian Dr. Richard Breitmeyer.
Three live pigs were taken for testing, and inspectors are rounding up an undetermined number of live hogs sold from the 1,500-animal farm since April 3. So far, the state has 26 recovered pigs at a Northern California facility, officials said.
