Maryland Bans Arsenic In Chicken Feed (Jan 01, 2013) | Maryland became the first state to ban the use of additives containing arsenic in chicken feed Tuesday. The measure is among several new statewide laws that took effect Jan. 1.
State lawmakers passed a bill banning the chemical last year. It's used to help poultry and other fowl grow and fight parasites.
Pfizer Inc., which distributes the product, stopped selling the additive in July 2012 after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration study found higher levels of inorganic arsenic in chickens treated with the chemical. | | Click here to see more... |
