Bracelet Found in Chicken After 25 Years

A Massachusetts man has his metal identity bracelet back after it was found inside a chicken gizzard in Minnesota, more than 25 years after he lost it. Aaron Giles, aged 31, lived in Fairmont as a child and played with his brothers in their grandfather's barn.

"I would spend most of my time out at his farm and that's the only place I can think of that I would have lost it," Giles said Thursday, adding that he thinks it was lost when he was 4 or 5 years old. The barn was dismantled a few years ago, and the old wood was used to construct another barn about 45 miles away, he said. Giles thinks his bracelet must have been in the barn wood.

Workers in Fairmont Minnesota were cutting the meat of chickens that came from the new barn when one of them came across the identity bracelet in a chicken gizzard.

Chicken Sodium Injection

Officials at the USDA say they are reviewing the issue of chicken sodium-injection.

Chicken Jerky Treats May Pose Danger To Dogs

There is a government warning out for a popular kind of dog treat. They’re chicken jerky products, variously described as chicken tenders, strips, or just plain treats.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates human and pet food, has received more than 70 complaints involving nearly 100 dogs that have become severely ill after eating chicken jerky products. Most recovered, but some died. However, in its warning to dog owners, the agency says, "to date, FDA has not been able to determine a definitive cause for the reported illnesses." And the illnesses haven't been traced to any particular brand or manufacturer, either.
