Posted Sat Dec 20 2008: from Minneapolis Star Tribune:
X-rayed venison is on its way to food shelves http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1229793744
Minnesota officials are all but finished X-raying donated venison for lead bullet fragments, and meat found to be lead-free is now being shipped to food shelves around the state. Of about 10,000 packages of venison tested, 560 -- or 5.9 percent -- tested positive for lead, officials said. That meat -- about 1,100 pounds -- will be destroyed after it is tested further to determine lead levels. About 18,000 pounds of venison that showed no detectable lead have been released to food shelves.

Great news! ... um ... unless there's something potentially dangerous with X-rays.
