Study: Agent Orange Still in Vietnamese Food Supply

HeadlineAug 13, 2003

A new study in Vietnam has found Agent Orange used by U.S. troops still contaminates food supplies in Vietnam. The study found “markedly elevated” levels of Dioxin TCDD in samples of chickens, ducks, pork, beef and fish. Vietnam estimates 1 million people were exposed to Agent Orange, which was used by the U.S. from 1962-1971.
