Ok, so you really cannot do anything until the investigation is complete
When were the samples of the meat taken during the process?
-> at the end (thus an endproduct)
Have you had an issue with this grower before?
-> No, never.
Do you trust the governments lab? (here in Canada results come back for drugs we KNOW were never used (farm to fork operations complete control over flocks and they take 6 months to come back)
-> Well first not. But the counter analyse was positive too so this excludes a fault in the lab.
counte
For immediate corrective actions, it's probably best NOT to use this grower IF POSSIBLE, if not possible, this grower needs to be on hold and release
-> its not really possible to NOT use the grower atm. We need the supplier and the supplier is allowed to keep producing from the governement.
Unfortunately , these situation always goes back to the slaughterhouse to PREVENT this stuff...........and IMHO that is not what should happen, the grower should be suspended pending the investigate BY THE GOVERNMENT
-> I cannot agree more.
If the samples were obtained correctly following protocol only 2 things can possible have occurred
1) the grower is lying through his/her teeth
-> Well its possible that the supplier of the chickenfood gave the medication OR that the veterinarian of the farmer added the medication without knowledge of the farmer. All 3 options are possible.
2) False positive from government lab
-> I hope for the farmer not because he will probably be held accountable for the deviation.
You'd be shocked how often this really happens
