CNN this a.m. mentioned a German manufacturer has recalled heparin.
Unfortunately I was bounced off the Washington Post site just when the article mentioned China and whether or not the additives were "cheaper" as the "cheaper" protein additive used for the pet food.
Could someon fill me in?

The Germans found the additive, but nobody knows how it got there.Time will tell. Should be interesting. This is really tough for the dialysis patients.
