- Food and Drug
Administration says it is investigating possibility that genetically
engineered pigs might have been illegally sold for use as food;
although agency says there is no risk to public health, incident is
latest of several that call into question whether regulations are
adequate to assure that food supply remains safe (M) The Food and
Drug Administration said yesterday that it was investigating the
possibility that genetically engineered pigs might have been
illegally sold for use as food.
The agency said it did not consider the pigs to present any risk
to public health. Still, the incident is the latest of several that

the food supply remains safe as plants and animals are increasingly
engineered to produce drugs and other products.
How multi-packs work: A multi-pack is an archive
package that saves you money by allowing you to pre-purchase a set
number of articles in bulk at a reduced price. You can then debit
from your multi-pack and quickly access articles from the archive at
your convenience over the lifetime of the multi-pack.
Once you purchase an article, you may view it
as often as you like over the next 90 days. Archive articles do not
include photos, charts or graphics
