Human remains feared in food


By CP


VANCOUVER -- Human remains may have been in meat processed for human consumption at a pig farm at the centre of the investigation into Vancouver's missing women, B.C.'s provincial health officer confirmed yesterday. "We can't rule out the possibility of cross-contamination," Dr. Perry Kendall said in an interview.

When asked if cross-contamination meant human remains found their way into meat processed at the infamous farm, Kendall said:

"It's very disturbing to think about, but there's that possibility of some cross-contamination. But the degree of it or when or how much we really don't know.

"I think if we could rule it out, we definitely would like to."

Robert Pickton faces 15 counts of first-degree murder in the disappearance of women from Vancouver's seedy Downtown Eastside.

Police have said they have found human remains and other DNA samples at the farm Pickton owned with his brother and sister near Port Coquitlam, just east of Vancouver.

Kendall has asked anyone who may still have frozen pork products from Pickton's farm to return those products to police.

"As a result of information that we recently received from the RCMP, we have reason to believe that there is a strong possibility that some of the product from the Pickton farms -- and how much the RCMP do not know -- may still be sitting in some people's freezer in the Lower Mainland," Kendall later told a news conference in Victoria.

Kendall said Pickton apparently had a habit of slaughtering pigs, wrapping up the meat and distributing it to associates and friends. None of it was sold commercially, officials say.

"We know from the risk assessment that was conducted by Health Canada that any meat that might remain in people's storage does pose some quantifiable risk to human health," he said.
