Sorry if this has already been posted, it's late, I'm tired, and I did a search but didn't find anything.

More bad news . . . let’s hope the other ingredients being shipped from China aren’t similarly contaminated. I haven’t started making my own cat food yet, but I suspect I’ll end up doing just that.

Upon reflection, it really bothers me that the scientists are reporting visible granules of contaminant in the wheat gluten. If they can see the contaminant, there must be an absolute boatload of it in the gluten. This doesn’t sound like a trace contaminant to me.

Unbelievable. Sounds like we need to be on the lookout for anything being shipped from China—including our own food. The bad thing is not everything is labeled. I don’t believe this is an “oops” situation. Not for a minute.

Hopefully they've found the real smoking gun now. If they can identify it, they may be able to identify an effective treatment that can stop the kidney damage process in the early stages.

the only way to know for sure if it could cause the outbreak would be to feed the compound to those animals, Goldstein said, adding, "That's not an option."

I'm glad to hear that's the policy at Cornell. Many vet school-affiliated research institutions DO induce illness in animals for research purposes.

Not sure if you saw this thread or not.

Bump. Stop buying Chinese products.

If you love animals, this story will make your blood boil! A dog was found wandering in a Texas town with wire wrapped around its mouth. http://www.nbc5.com/index.html
