If I were Purina, I’d stop all importing of Chinese pet food products/ingredietns and start an ad campaign touting that.
Their profits would soar.

It really makes you wonder about any food product - pet or human - produced in China, including vitamins. Who knows what they’re using??

"Often, the animal feed producers say, they do not buy pure melamine, which is used to make plastics and fertilizer, but purchase impure melamine scrap from chemical factories. It is much cheaper than pure melamine.""The buyers say they believe it to be legal and non-toxic, though they admit they are cheating buyers."
Someone should be punished.

...cyanuric acid is often used as a disinfectant for swimming pools. No, it's used as a "binding agent" for chlorine. Most pool store people (who are out to rip you off BTW) call it "conditioner."

Thanks, m4k. I am grateful, at this point, that my dogs are so particular. I tried at least 8 kinds of food. They wouldn’t eat ANYTHING other than Beneful.

"a disinfectant for swimming pools"
Not quite. It's a stabilizer used in many chlorine formulations (dichlor, trichlor). It reduces chlorine's ability to disinfect but helps prevent the chlorine from being broken-down by sunlight. It builds up over time, necessitating a partial drain and refill of the pool.

"

Actually, that's not quite right. CA is a stabilizer for chlorine in that it blends into the water to reduce the chlorine's evaporative effect and makes the sanitizer last longer.
Too little CA and as water temps rise, the amount of chlorine sanitizer required increases. Too much CA and one can "lock out" the sanitizer from performing its disinfecting properties.

I won’t be at all surprised when we find out that melamine and cyanuric acid aren’t the only “additives” the Chinese are putting into food.

The heads of two companies involved in the foodstuff doctoring have been arrested. Since they are in China they will receive quick trial and possibly harsh and immediate punishment.
