Like Some Arsenic With That Bird? You Got It.
 
According to science writer Deborah Blum in an L.A. Times op-ed, trace amounts of arsenic — enough to produce a cancer risk — are found in American chicken and turkey, due to the use of an arsenic-containing poultry feed called Roxarsone. The strangely-named substance is banned in Europe but used in the U.S. to make meat look fresher.

As well as apple seeds.

But do you know anyone who eats those?

Or the amount you'd have to consume to actually experience any toxicity.

I think you'll find that there's nasty shit in just about everything we consume, in some form or another.
