Why the FDA Still Allows a Carcinogen in Pork Products
- Carbadox, a drug given to pigs in U.S. farms, is a known carcinogen that international experts declared unsafe at any level of exposure
- Even though the FDA has acknowledged carbadox's risks for decades, industry pressure and regulatory delays have allowed it to remain on the market
- Other countries, including Canada, Brazil, the U.K., Australia, and the entire European Union, banned carbadox years ago, leaving American consumers exposed to risks considered unacceptable elsewhere
- A study found no carbadox residues in limited pork samples tested, but most producers refused to disclose whether they still use the drug, highlighting a lack of transparency and oversight
- You can protect yourself by avoiding pork due to its linoleic acid content, or by choosing responsibly raised pork, supporting humane farming, and signing petitions to pressure regulators and companies to end carbadox use
