 "It involved a secret federal investigation into the veal industry's use of the blackmarket drug clenbuterol.
Clenbuterol, perhaps the most acutely toxic drug residue found in animals slaughtered for meat, is a steroidlike drug used illegally within the veal industry to stimulate rapid growth in calves. It can cause acute poisoning in humans who consume meat tainted with its residue. Symptoms of clenbuterol poisoning include increased heart rate, muscle tremors, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fever, and even death."- Gail A. Eisnitz, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meal Industry (Get the book.) "Since then, several veal industry leaders have been convicted for their roles in the scandal. In 1997, the first company indicted and its president, both convicted on twelve felony counts of drug smuggling and distribution, were sentenced in federal court. The company was required to pay over a million dollars and its president was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Since that first conviction, ten more major veal industry figures have been imprisoned and/or forced to pay huge fines." - Gail A.
