Natural Balance Pet Foods said Tuesday it found melamine in two of its pet
food products, which the company has recalled.
But Natural Balance doesn't use wheat gluten, the ingredient contaminated
with melamine in the Menu recall. Instead, it suspects that melamine was in
a rice protein concentrate, a new ingredient used in the dry foods, said
Natural Balance president Joey Herrick. "That was the only change in the
product," he says.
The concentrate is now being tested, he added. Melamine was detected in
samples of the food. The recalled foods are: Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog
Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods.
Whether other pet food makers got the same rice protein concentrate is
unclear at this time. Herrick says the food was made for Natural Balance by
Diamond Pet Foods.
