Dry, this time.
Rice gluten, not wheat.
But the real money statement from the media is that all wheat gluten from China has now been banned by the FDA.
The pet food industry was less than 10% of the Chinese wheat gluten export market.
Where did the other 90% go?
Think about it. Think real hard.
I didn’t get the memo explaining the FDA ban, did you? /sarcasm//
This new “problem” concerns contaminated rice gluten exports from China.
I have been reading every box and can of human food I buy, or bought, and none list either wheat or rice gluten as an ingrediant.
Not a big surprise, since none of the pet foods list it either.

You know.
And I know.
But don’t say it out loud!
Profits are at stake.

One of the problems with this is that because pet food is usually the only food pets get over and over again, they become sort of the canary in the coal mine. Humans usually eat different food daily so the dosage of poison the humans are getting is intermittent and not on a daily bases. This poison will take time to build up in humans but it will and there will be deaths from it, but we aren’t likely to see it for many months.

There I said it. Now we need to ban all Chinese food imports at the minimum and for good measure all Chinese products.

Are these ingredients listed on the recalled food?

Or is this a HIDDEN ingredient too small to list?
