"The Food and Drug Administration said Sunshine Mills Inc. is recalling dog biscuits made with imported Chinese wheat gluten. Testing has revealed the wheat gluten, a protein source, was contaminated with melamine, used to make plastics and other industrial products."

Also, Menu Foods is still expanding their canned pet food recall.
Pet Connection Blog on CNN: Pet food recall: Sen. Durbin to hold media conference, set hearing............
We knew this was coming!
No, MilkBone, thank goodness.
*this has gone beyond ridiculous* ping
She loves it and it costs no more that dog food.
In about 25 years the mercury will get to her. But by then, she won’t care.
Includes Del Monte, which I hadn't seen on other lists.
This is awful. I’m worried about feline canned Science Diet w/d since it has gluten meal in it.
Eight in One Inc., a division of United Pet Group Inc., is recalling all packages of Dingo Chick’N Jerky, Dingo Kitty Chicken Jerky and Dingo Ferret Chicken Jerky.
They say it is unrelated to the other recall...hmmmmm.
If it has wheat gluten on the label, lose it!
Do we know when this is going to happen?
Is there anything not made in China?
Ol Roy treats is on the list :(
DelMonte was a voluntaey recall of certain lot codes.
They have not had any pet incidents tied to their products.
We give our dog Meaty Bones once a day and my wife freaked out when she found out they were a DelMonte product, fortunately Meaty Bones are not affected by the recall.
Definitely!
w/d says maize gluten meal. Do we buy corn from China?
All the recalls for Men Foods have been the wet foods, right? Have there been an recalls on thier dry food products? (Specifically Nutro Max)
“UPDATE: Story confirmed by AP. Recall in affect.
A reader reports that CNN just announced that FDA has identified another company that also received the tainted wheat gluten. FDA refused (once again) to identify the company, but CNN said that their products are made by Sunshine Mills.
They also sell dog treats under Wal-Mart’s Ol’Roy brand.
They own brands such as: Sunshine Pet Treats, Sportsman’s Pride, and World Pet Foods. They sell “throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, plus over thirty other countries worldwide.”
...the question is, when does this expand to include human food? You know that the focus on the bottom line is likely to have led to the use of this imported Chinese crap in prepackaged human foods.
How long before human food is contaminated overseas?
I started giving my kitties tuna and egg. Was also worrying about the mercury thing. Guess it will take time to build in in their systems. Hopefully, before too long, I can find the right foods for them.
