Fish Meal Contamination Last July 16. Mohsanto Chemical Co. informed I DA ihct large amounts of fish meal may have been contami nated with PCB (aroclor 1242) during pasteurization of fish meal at the l-ast Coast Terminal, Wilmington, N.C., wliere PCB was used as the heat ex change fiuid. Three days later, the U.S. Department cf Agriculture told FDA that Holly Farms Poultry Industries, North Wilkesboro, N.C.. had discov ered PCB in its broilers, resulting from an investigation to determine the cause of reduced haichability in broiler breed er Rocks. The firm's investigation impli cated the fish meal as the causative agent. Continuing FDA investigation indicated the leak began on April 30 and continued through July 16. Ap proximately 16.000 tent cf fish meal were shipped during that period. Indi vidual fish meal samples contained 14 30 ppm. PCB- East Coast Terminal recalled out standing stocks of fish meal July 21 and approximately 1,500 tons w-cre re turned. Sampling of poultry Tor PCB residues was begun promptly by USDA. which determined that no lots of broilers were found exceeding the 5 ppm. interim guideline for PCB resi dues. Followup sampling on eggs was started Aug. 3. As of Sep;. 29. 224 samples of eggs had been checked m the follow-up with 71 containing resi dues over 0.5 ppm. (range 0.6 to 4.2 ppm.) FDA seized five shipments of fish feeds in Louisiana, Georgia and Missis sippi that contained 0.6 to 4.5 ppm. PCB. Eleven samples of catfish which had been fed the contaminated feed contained PCH residues within the 5 ppm. guideline, ranging from 0.3 to 3 ppm. In addition, the agency seized a shipment of the contaminated fish meal from East Coast Tctmin.il that had not been recalled and contained in excess of 350 ppm. PCB. Since November 1969, FDA has analyzed all raw agricultural commodi ties sampled under the pesticide surveil lance program for PCBs as well as pes ticide rogues. Over 17.000 samples have been collected and analyzed.
