SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The health risk is "minimal" to people who ate chemically-tainted pork from a Stanislaus County hog farm, according to the California Department of Health.
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 health officials.
Three live pigs were taken for testing, and inspectors are rounding up an undetermined number of live hogs sold from the 15-hundred-animal farm since April third, they said.
So far, the state has 26 recovered pigs at a Northern California facility.
