Dioxins were also found in Northern Irish pork:

Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew said restrictions had been placed on the farms on Friday.

The UK's Food Standards Agency has said pork from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland should not be eaten.

And in the USA some Holiday Teddy Bears with chocolate were recalled yesterday because of melamine contamination. But, they said only 173 of the bears made it to the public. It didn't even make the news.

I wonder how much melamine the public has consumed in the USA before it was all discovered.

Dioxin is extremely toxic.
