Some have been linked with cancer. My advice is, if you have any suspicions about any food you buy, return it. If the seller refuses to exchange it or refund your money, find someone else to buy from. Your health isn't something to take chances with. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.) aka Swazoo Koolak {amdahl, sun}!rtech!jeff {ucbvax, decvax}!mtxinu!rtech!jeff
