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.

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.
