The pet food recall seems to be getting worse. Now, the chemical melamine has been found in the recalled foods.
According to an article from the March 31, 2007, issue of The Oregonian, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday, it had found melamine in samples of pet food, as well as in imported wheat gluten that was used as an ingredient in the pet food. Melamine is a chemical used to make plastics.
Now, it appears that the contamination is not just limited to wet foods, it is also found in dry food. The FDA found melamine in the wheat gluten of Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food and on Friday, March 30, Hill's Pet Nutrition announced the recall.
Menu Foods has recalled a phenomenal 95 brands of cuts-and-gravy type dog and cat food made between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. Wheat gluten was cited as the cause of that recall and the wheat was said to be imported from China.
It's mind blowing! 95 brands of food! 95 brands of food! Two questions immediately come to mind; 1) Who was conducting the quality control; and 2) Why was the wheat imported from China?
It's starting to get confusing, because just a week ago, New York State Food Laboratory identified aminopterin - a rat poison as the problem.
With melamine also a suspected culprit, and with 95 brands contaminated, you might be thinking are there any safe foods left for my pet? If so, where can they be found?
There is one brand of food that has not been recalled and it does not contain corn or wheat and it is SAFE for your pets. The name of that food is Lifes Abundance Cat Food and Life's Abundance Dog Food.
