Contaminated Pet Food

The contaminated pet food recall has reached epic proportions.

We’re looking for almost 800 metric tons of contaminated wheat gluten shipped by ChemNutra to 4 companies that made dog and cat food:
· Menu Foods,
· Hills,
· Purina, and
· DelMonte.

Although melamine is considered the contaminant, some do not believe it is capable of causing the number of deaths that veterinarians are seeing. They expect other contaminants will be found.

Hundreds of products are now on the recall list. What potential for contamination! These include
· canned cat and dog foods,
· pouched foods,
· dry kibble, and
· dog chews & treats.

The following lists of recalled products were taken from the Menu Foods site. They were in a hurry typing this list and did not correct their spelling mistakes. Grammarians out there will be warning kids in school that Menu Foods took its first steps down the road to perdition and pet food peril when they quit paying attention to the “small” things, such as spelling.
