OT - Alert issued over meat from Pickton farm
WebPosted Mar 10 2004 04:33 PM PST

VICTORIA - B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall says human remains may have ended up in meat from the pig farm at the centre of Vancouver's missing women's case.

The farm in suburban Port Coquitlam is owned by Robert Pickton. He has been charged with 15 counts of first-degree murder – and the Crown has announced plans to charge him with the murders of seven more women.

Those charges were laid after DNA of several women missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside were found at his farm.

Dr. Kendall says there's a possibility of cross-contamination of meat produced at the farm.

He says the RCMP has evidence that Pickton handed out some meat products to friends and acquaintances before his arrest in February 2002.

He's calling on anyone with frozen pork products from Pickton's farm to contact the Missing Women's Task Force at 1-877-687-3377.
