Hi
You might want to try contacting the Health Protection Agency www.hpa.org.uk
(I think). They have a range of specialists and may be able to help.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Is Poultry Feed a carcinogen?
I saw a lady yesterday who had a fallopian tube adenocarcinoma removed in
July. She is adamant that 'it is due to the poultry feed she is in contact
with, as it contains GM products, a work colleague had 3 cancerous lumps
removed last year during her hysterectomy {she had been seen by OH and had
fibroids removed} and a previous staff member died from throat cancer'. She
feels that she may be the first case so I'm unlikely to find evidence
linking poultry food to cancer and understandably wants reassurance that it
isn't before she will consider going back to work.
I'm in contact with both the manager and H&S to look at the feed contents
etc.
Do any of you work with in the poultry livestock industry who can help?
Kim
