Feed frenzy

After Belgium’s food scandal, the European Commission has renewed calls for
sweeping powers to inspect animal feed factories. The French government has also
called for a ban on feed made from meat residues, after a leaked report from the
French National Directorate for the Repression of Fraud appeared in the French
weekly Le Canard Enchaîné. The report describes how
various waste products are used to make feed. In one factory, the waste came
from water left after processing dead animals—including those that died of
unknown causes.
