BARFBLOG: Good eats: New Jersey squirrels - (barfblog)
October 30, 2007 – 10:54 pmAgence France Press reports today that squirrel eaters in the U.S. state of New Jersey have been told that the bushy-tailed rodents are likely safe to eat, after earlier being advised the unlikely delicacies could contain toxic metals.
The Environmental Protection Agency said earlier this year it had discovered high levels of lead in a squirrel taken from near a waste dump in the Ringwood area and advised people to eat the rodents no more than twice a week.
Officials have now said the test results were an error.
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife describes squirrel as “good table fare,” offering recipes for squirrel chowder, stew and barbecue.
