U.S. Says Some Chicken Feed Tainted

The [Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration] said they believed the likelihood of illness to people eating contaminated chicken was low because the contamination was most likely diluted. Without evidence of harm to humans, the agencies said they were not issuing recalls of any of the processed chicken products.

No. Rather, they know that once a human food recall starts, it would panic lots of people, and the economy, fragile as it is, would take a huge hit.

Nope. Better to say, "We don't know if people can be sickened, so we'll assume they won't."
