If the wheat gluten went to a manufacturer in Canada, though, I'm not sure what any administration could've done about it. Is Menu Foods Canadian?
The dog and cat food companies that were not associated with Menu Foods were right in pulling their products from the market if there was a chance that the wheat gluten used in the manufacture of their foods were from the same Chinese source....
What I do not understand is why in the hell are we importing or the Canadians importing wheat products from other countries when the cost of Canadian and US wheat is so cheap.. There are wheat farmers out there going bankrupt because wheat is so cheap.
I remember this happening before when a foreign country used a pesticide that was not approved in the US got into the US food supply. There are some real dangerous pesticides and rodenticides out there used by other countries that have no use in the US....there are some good ones that aren't used by the US that are foolish for us not to use...DDT....
Menu foods head office is in Ontario, Canada, but the bad food was produced at two factories in the US, and one in Canada.
