We asked the same question three weeks ago - if there are poisons in the imported gluten in the pet food, chances are there are poisons in the imported gluten in "people" food as well.

Testing the dog food is just a band-aid. If the real problem is imported wheat, then they need to TEST THE IMPORTED WHEAT...

In contrast, the United States Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for meat and poultry, inspected almost 16% of those imported foods in fiscal 2006. The FDA covers most other foods, about 80% of the nation's food supply." "The decline in FDA inspection resources has been pronounced in the past five years. While food imports have soared about 50%, the number of FDA food-import inspectors has dropped about 20%, the agency says."

Ironic, isn't it? The per food plant in question is in the middle of Kansas- great WHEAT producing state, and the company was inporting WHEAT from China.
