"Pork products from a farm in British Columbia, Canada, may have been contaminated with human remains, according to British Columbia's provincial health officer. Authorities are trying to track down evidence tied to Robert Pickton, who is accused of 15 counts of murder in connection to the disappearances of 65 women in Vancouver. For years, Pinkton and his family delivered hog products to the West Coast Reduction rendering plant in Vancouver. "We can't rule out the possibility of cross-contamination," Dr. Perry Kendall told reporters yesterday, adding: "It's very disturbing to think about, but there's that possibility of some cross-contamination. But the degree of it or when or how much we really don't know." Pickton was never a member of the B.C. Pork Producers Association, nor the B.C. Hog Marketing Commission. His farm has never been a licensed slaughterhouse but has slaughtered pigs, according to reports in Canada's National Post newspaper."
