Melamine from tainted pet food won't hurt humans

As if the recent pet food recalls one after another threatening the health of our pets wasn't stressful enough, those reports were quickly followed by news that the responsible contaminating ingredients had gotten into the human food supply through hogs and chickens. But finally some good news: although the chemical melamine has been found in the feed of some animals, none has been found in the meat supply intended for humans. And in addition, even if small amounts of melamine were consumed experts don't believe it would pose any real health threat to humans.

So, a tentative sigh of relief. For at least one angle of this horrible mess anyway.
