“...the Chinese have refused to grant visas to FDA inspectors seeking to visit the plants where the ingredients were made”
Something to keep in mind before buying any food stuffs from China. They cannot be trusted to produce safe products if they won’t even allow our inspectors in to see their pet food companies.
Amazing; these pet food companies using ingredients that - apparently - fall outside the boundaries of our regulations; and it appears; are not inspected by anyone. . .from 'our side'.
I suspect that many animals; and not just as of recently; have been victims of 'whatever' from the ingredients sold to them from China. . . .which, it appears; are not inspected as well; once they arrive at their destination; and before they are blended into whatever brand of dog food.
Have yet to hear the resounding alarm call from Peta. . .re China and their pet food preparation. . .but then, perhaps I missed it.
Recently I heard somewhere that we shouldn’t buy or use products that are eaten or ingested, sold by the Dollar Stores or in bargain bins at your local market. Also included on the list were plastic toys for toddlers because the plastic contains lead.
Want to bet these other products ALL come from China as well? I have no doubt China would pump pond scum or toilet water into any products they manufacture, just to increase the bulk!
