Feed produced by Harles & Jentzsch GmbH, based in Uetersen, was found to contain dioxin, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of the state of Schleswig-Holstein said yesterday. Harles & Jentzsch said in a statement that it alerted officials in December to the substance’s possible presence, adding that, while some ingredients originated from Petrotec AG, a biodiesel maker, the dioxin’s source was unclear. Petrotec said fatty acids it produces are sold only for industrial uses.
