Paris - Fresh doubts were cast yesterday on the safety of France's beef supply after a newspaper said meat from around 30 cows that consumed high amounts of heavy metals wound up in the human food chain.
The daily Le Parisien reported the cows consumed lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, chromium, copper and zinc as a result of a polluted canal that repeatedly overflowed, flooding the pasture in which the animals grazed.
