Chinese tainted pork products

At least 70 people have fallen ill in China after eating pork products contaminated with an illegal animal feed additive.



State media said the victims were treated for stomach ache and diarrhoea in Guangdong province.



Three people remain in hospital.



The tainted pig organs contained the steroid clenbuterol, which is used to prevent animals gaining fat.



Its the latest in a series of food poisoning cases in China.



Officials in the southern province are quoted as saying three people have been detained on suspicion of involvement in raising and selling the contaminated pigs.



The pork was reportedly bought last week from markets in Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong, and came from farms in the neighbouring Hunan province.
