It seems to me that you could feed all the info of every recalled
product into a data base program, (facilities where produced/ingredients
from the same source/etc), and start to get some sort of correlations
that we could actually use to figure out what/which products/companies
have tainted sources in common. You and I can't do that because we
aren't privy to the basic information, but our governmental "guardians"
are and can. Either they are as incompetent as they appear, or they are
protecting corporate business over our welfare. Could these be our only
choices for an explanation of their ineptitude? Stupid or corrupt??
Not very comforting or reassuring, whichever it is.

the cause of the problem was.... the wheat gluten is SUSPECTED.... and
the melamine is SUSPECTED.... but they didn't announce the final
results of what poisoned the spinach from last summer until the early
days of the pet-food recall, and that was MONTHS later..... how can
you define safe when they don't really have a clue what caused the
problem?
as i mentioned earlier, it makes me very very nervous that none of the
"safe" pet foods are not advertising like crazy to take advantage of
the situation--and it is CERTAINLY not because of the well-known
ethics in the advertising world--makes me suspect that they realize
that they might be next of the list of what's NOT safe....
