Via Boing-Boing:
SIOUX CENTER, Iowa (AP) -- More than a thousand pounds of pork processed at a Sioux Center meatpacking plant was recalled Saturday because a microchip could be embedded in the meat.The Sioux-Preme Packing Co. recalled 110 pork shoulder butts -- about 1,100 pounds of meat -- that could contain the metal devices used to measure scientific data in hogs.
The animals, processed September 10, were part of a research herd that had been sent to slaughter without the proper notification that they had the chips implanted, said Sioux-Preme Vice President Jim Malek.
As if a steady diet of pork wasn't risky enough ...

Yuck, so this is the government's plan of how to tag us all? First they tag all the food, we eat it they we're tagged. You are what you eat! Visit http://NoNAIS.org for more about this whole tagging issue.
