Pet Food Recall Grows

[ian allen]

The tainted food recall grew again on Saturday, March 31, as Nestle
Purina Pet Care Co. added Alpo Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food to the
list of growing pet foods being recalled. Purina said a limited amount
of food contained wheat gluten from China.
Hill's Pet Nutrition, late Friday, March 30, recalled its Prescription
Diet m/d Feline dry cat food that contained the same allegedly
contaminated wheat gluten. Hill's is the only company so far that has
recalled a dry pet food.
It appears that even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other
experts don't understand the real cause or full extend of the problem
as concerned pet owners seek answers from both their vets and pet food
suppliers.
The same US supplier of wheat gluten, a protein source, also sold to a
Canadian company. So far Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of
wet dog and cat food it produces for sale under nearly 100 brand
labels.
To date, the Chinese company that supplied the allegedly contaminated
wheat gluten remains a mystery as Menu Foods refuses to name the
company....
