The tainted heparin (blood-thinner) from pharma company Baxter has everyone in a tizzy. The WSJ sent a reporter to a heparin-extraction plant in China. Source material: pig intestines. And as one photo caption in this series explains, what doesn't turn into heparin is saved for sausage casings.
The captions say the stuff coming out of the intestines is "pulp." Is that a typo? Shouldn't it be "poop"?
