The revised recall includes cat food brands from Nutro, Publix, America’s Choice, Pet Pride, Winn Dixie and more.
What was that FDA? We’re done with the recalls? We can’t wait to hear what you have to say at the Senate hearing.
Menu Foods voluntarily recalls additional pet food made with ChemNutra wheat gluten
TORONTO, April 10 /PRNewswire/ - Prompted by reports from the US Food and Drug Administration as to the presence of melamine in cans of cuts and gravy pet food produced in Menu Foods’ Canadian production facility, Menu Foods undertook an accounting of all recalled wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. to Menu Foods in the United States. As the result of that review, Menu Foods has identified a single interplant transfer of the ChemNutra supplied wheat gluten, shipped from Menu Foods’ plant in Emporia, Kansas, to its plant in Streetsville, Ontario. This wheat gluten was subsequently used in the production of pet food in December, 2006 and January, 2007, which is being recalled by Menu Foods.

Complete freefall in progress. It is abudantly apparent the pet food industry is unable to control it's own product safety and quality in any sort of a timely manner once a problem is encountered.
After three weeks Menu Foods still cannot isolate it's poisoned pet food. More and more bad food is still being fed to pets.

Unfortunate Ping
TANKS,,,ain’t got to the baad part yet...
Wait for it.....
Haven’t seen much on ‘tha whirld newz’ about this. Interesting that the public has to educate themselves on this one. But at least we know who Anna Nicole’s baby’s daddy is. That’s the iportant thing.
But it’s freeeee trade. Be happy.
The China-Source Experts ChemNutra imports quality ingredients from China to the U.S. for the feed, food and pharma industries. We are a professionally managed, American owned company experienced in negotiating, securing and delivering ultra-competitive pricing on high-quality chemicals and ingredients from quality-assured manufacturers in China. We bridge the business and cultural gaps…including all regulatory, compliance, import and transportation requirements.
The more doctrinaire Muslims, plus, large percentages of other non / anti Western peoples, including some old school Chinese, are very anti pet. They proscribe the keeping of pets. They view them strictly as outdoor / farmstead varmint controls. Add to that, the prominent role pets play particularly in American society. Who knows. There may be more than negligance in the mix.
It gets worse, ping!
ChemNutra imports high-quality nutritional and pharmaceutical chemicals from China to the US. We purchase our inventory from quality-assured manufacturers in China, with whom we have strong relationships over the past twelve years. Our US customers are manufacturers of food, pet food, and nutritional ingredients, who want high quality, the best service, and the most competitive prices. The ingredients we import include amino acids, preservatives & antioxidants, nutritional minerals, proteins, flavor enhancers, and sweeteners. The principals of ChemNutra have exported large quantities of feed and food ingredients from China to manufacturers in the US and elsewhere worldwide. Annually, our volume exceeds 4,000 tons of Amino Acids and other quality ingredients.
We are qualified as a woman-owned and minority-owned company.

Another pet food recall ping!
I was kinda sweating that one out.
My wife would have been PO’d!
;-D
Can a whistleblower at the FDA please stand up?
Nutro Recalls All Canned Food With Wheat Gluten
April 10th, 2007
We applaud this move by Nutro to remove all wet foods that contain wheat gluten and we agree with Nutro CEO’s sentiments. Checking UPC codes, dates, etc. only causes confusion in stores as well as homes. Customer-centric companies should do us all a favor by removing entire lines of products, not just certain dates or codes.
We’ve heard too many reports of recalled food still sitting on store shelves because of all the confusing information that’s been dribbling out over the last month. Simple instructions like this help us save our pet’s lives.
“Pet owners are fed up with confusing information regarding the Menu Foods recall,” said Dave Kravis, President and CEO of Nutro Products.
Thanks... the food-reports naysayer will undoubtedly show up soon to tell everyone the cats would have died of kidney failure anyway because it’s a known fact American Cats all have kidney failure and it’s only being found now because owners are scared...
Got That Rite,,,this has been drug-out for a reason,,,
or two,,,
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the first...
This means they don’t know where it all went is #2...
see who gets sick/dies...then claim they didn’t know...
