What is the likelihood of illness in people after eating products from animals that were fed contaminated feed?
Eating pork, chicken, domestic fish, or eggs from animals inadvertently fed animal feed supplemented with pet food scraps contaminated with melamine and related compounds is very unlikely to pose a human health risk. This conclusion is based on a human health safety/risk assessment prepared by scientists at FDA in collaboration with scientists at USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service and in consultation with scientists at three other federal agencies.
