This greatly expands the potential for more contaminated pet food being on store shelves and in pet owneners homes.
After six weeks it should be apparent that any company importing any pet food ingredients from China should recall all of their products until the full breadth and scope of the Chinese contamination can be determined.
I bet you half the US has already eaten contaminated food from this incident.

And where is the FDA in all of this? First they cite only 16 pet deaths when they knew of many, many thousands. They sure aren’t leading the charge in demanding recalls and also further investigation into human food imports.
Pet food recall expansion ping!
I’m not sure how Blue Buffalo’s recall relates to the Menu one, but I wanted to follow up on that one as well.
Once I finally got in touch with the company, they were amazing. They immediately sent me a letter and paperwork to fill out, saying they would cover any vet bills that were related to my concern about their products. The letter was hand signed, not stamped, and offered no excuses, stating they knew that attempted excuses would offer no consolation, so they wouldn’t even consider offering them. I am very pleased with the response I have received from them.
As far as my dog, well...she is doing better. Her vet and I don’t believe that her problems are related to contaminated food. There is actually a possibility she may have cancer (which Boxers are prone to), but she will need further testing. I won’t be filing any claim for vet bills with Blue Buffalo, but I wanted to let everyone know how well they have handled this situation as a business.
Folks, we have got to give up on trying to find some packaged food to give our pets. Perhaps someday safety will return to pet foods, but not soon enough to keep our beloved animals from starving to death! Let’s stop agonizing over which brand of pet food to buy and simply give up on them for awhile.
If you can’t give your pet game meat that you shot, go to the store and buy him cheap cuts of meat and chicken intended for human consumption, and give it to him. It’s not clear that any of the food we buy for ourselves is terrific quality, but it’s certainly better than scrounging around for some form of food that might not kill the animal outright.
My Kitties are eating Iams Original (dry) and they get tuna as a wet treat.
Sound OK?
Anyone know what the NEW ONES ARE?..that were added?
How come there is no date on your article? HOw old is this story? I need all facts before I send this out to all my contacts...
It should be pretty obvious by now that ALL foodstuff ingredients from China should be considered contaminated. We’ve no doubt been eating food contaminated by Chinese ‘additives’ for years. Nothing has been checked, ever, so this may be a new discovery- but we are fools is we believe that this is a new thing.
China has been poisoning the world.
I’m only surprised that people aren’t producing plastic dishes in the bathroom.
This is not just pet food, but human food also. And, recalling all the food that "might" be contaminated from China would not be feasible.
i bought two packages of chicken at wal-mart,
now i’m wondering if they’re contaminated.
Gets better, doesn’t it? Meanwhile the media and the FDA are silent. Wouldn’t want to do anything to blemish the “sterling” reputation of the Chinese free traders.
Geeessssss Louise...... what a mess! I’m so grateful I don’t feed kibble right now.
