ooo...look what I found through the Purina website (emphasis mine):

Where Does the Wheat Gluten Supply Come From

It should be noted that the wheat gluten used in most pet foods is the same quality wheat gluten used in human foods. It is sourced from the same countries, the same suppliers and inspected to meet the same high human food quality control standards. The U. S. is the largest user of wheat gluten in total, and our country's use of the ingredient in human and pet foods exceeds what is produced domestically by the agricultural industry. As a result, 80% of the U.S. demand for wheat gluten is fulfilled from Europe and Asia due to limited supplies in the U.S., where the remaining 20% is sourced.

Excellent find! Tracing the gluten chain backwards, using Purina’s own attempt to brag on its quality! You know we’ve all probably eaten our share of this poison by now.
