'Human meat' alert at pig farm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3500890.stm

Officials in western Canada have warned that meat from a pig farm owned by an accused serial killer may have been contaminated with human remains. British Columbia health officials issued an alert urging anyone who may have meat from Robert Pickton's farm near Vancouver to contact police.

Mr Pickton, 54, has been charged with 15 murders of women, most of whom were linked to Vancouver's sex trade.

Police say they have found the remains of more than 20 women at the farm.

Police stress they have no proof that any remains were mixed in with meat from the farm, but they admit they are now investigating the possibility, the BBC's Ian Gunn in Vancouver reports. It is the first time officials have confirmed what has been widely rumoured here, he adds.

Humans supposedly taste like pork, after all.
