No, unfortunately I don’t, or I would have posted the picture.

I answered it in 54.

What is wrong with you people? You gang up on posters who disagree with you and it is very ugly.

[Jean S]

I would hate to be a newbie here. People like you drive away new posters.

[editor-surveyor]

Thanks!

[null and void]

You’re quite welcome!

[Jean S]

Thank you null, I’m saving it this time, it’s a keeper!

[null and void]

Awwwww, I'm *blushing*

[Jean S]

Darn. I was hoping you were inviting us to dinner at Hobbie’s...

Misspellings have cost me lots of money. I would appreaciate if you didn't draw attention to them.
Thank you very much.

[null and void]

ooops. yes ma'am...

So the Japanese re-named a city, Usa.

You can read all about it here.

Who excerpts an FDA warning? Afraid they’ll claim copyright infringement?

I wondered about that myself. Think they need the "hits?" LOL.

[kitkat]

Darned customs inspectors! Just ruined a good story. LOL!

If you had bothered to check the link, you would have seen that products that harm humans are also listed. In fact, I saw a few I hadn’t heard about. That said, my pets are important to me. Maybe you don’t give a fig about them, but I do. If that offends you, tough.

I am not “people.” I am one person.

I did read the thread; 26 is no answer to my question.

” I have not seen this on any news channel (why not??). “

My guess-
Their story templates have changed.
This is not what they are commanded to report this week.

I too am very surprised to see high end names like Eukanuba, Science Diet and Iams.

My vet says you cannot go wrong with Pedigree and Purina products.

[a real Sheila]

I too have started shelving “made in China” products.

Something I’ve noticed now on some labels-
It will read
“Headquarters in Cityname, U.S.” but won’t say where the product was produced and packaged, or it will say “packaged in U.S.” Does this mean the products came here in bulk from China and then were dumped into the packaging?
Confusing and SUSPICIOUS!
I don’t want ANY food product from China for man or beast.

I have only recently discovered that ugly secret as well.

One good reason to eat organic and to make one’s own pet food.

(although I am growing suspicious about organic foods as well. I don’t know who is responsible for the oversight there and how it is enforced).
