(HigginsBlog) – For the last 60 years the FDA has played dumb claiming that they did not realize that Arsenic deliberately added to chicken feed posed a threat to human life, claiming instead they believe the arsenic in the feed is excreted from the chicken before being consumed by humans. The chicken feed in question is voluntarily being pulled off US shelves by Pfizer, one of the manufacturers of the feed, after research showed that a dangerous form arsenic stays inside the chicken and does indeed pose a threat to human life.

The arsenic in question is actually fed to the chickens based on claims that it provides benefits such as promoting growth which helps to maximize the profits of the corporations who sell the chicken to consumers.

But even as Pfizer voluntarily pulls their own product off the shelves, the FDA continues its campaign of denial. In fact the FDA has stopped short of banning the product or even putting into effect any type of regulation to stop future sale or use of the product or similar products.

Ironically, Pfizer, says they will need to contact regulators in other nations to decide if there is a health risk to humans in those countries before they decide whether it will pull the product off shelves in those nations.
