Some weeks later FDA investigators and Farm Bureau people found a partly filled bag of Firemaster at the feed mill. Within the month (May 1971 ) action (tolerance) levels were established by the FDA for PBB contamination. The Michigan Department of Agriculture began quarantining contaminated farms—a process that went on until the end of 1975- Another six months saw the original MACs for PBBs further lowered to 0.3 ppm for meats and dairy products, and 0.05 ppm for eggs and feed, as the toxic effects in animals were noted at lesser concentrations, and the routine detection of PBBs at these lower concentrations became feasible.

Halbert next turned to the feed he was aware of the possibility of pesticide contamination, but early analysis ruled out the usual culprits --DDT, dieldrin and PCBs, all of which peak early in gas chromatographic analysis. At this point Halbert s dairy farm was at stake. Scientists at Michigan s Department of Agriculture also failed in their search for a chemical clue, so Halbert turned to the USDA s National Animal Disease Center at Ames, Iowa. Here the accidental failure to switch off the GC apparatus during a lunch break revealed a "Rocky Mountain Range" of late peaks. At this critical point the bureaucratic genius of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service called off the investigation for lack of...

American Peppermint Oil.—According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States produce—mostly in Michigan, Indiana, and New York—rather under half of the world s total output of mint (peppermint and spearmint) oils, or approximately 250,000 lb. out of a universal production of 600,000 lb.
