Pigmeat oil problem unknown before Irish scare
Lab tests have indicated that the source of pork contamination was use of contaminated or inappropriate oil to fire a burner used for generating heat to dry bread, which was being recycled into animal feed.
The oil showed a high level of PCB contamination, which should not be found in oil in normal circulation, the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food hearing on the matter was told by Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food secretary general Tom Moran.
