Re: cat food recall-royal cannin
I have a hard time using the word safe right now too... Cause yesterday, somewhere, I did see a list that did include canine dry And, one of the items was/is a food I use for my veggie/allergic dog.. I did send a memo to them about it, but I'm sure they're inundated w/ inquiries.. And, of course, I can't remember just who the mfg. was. But, thank heavens for the save thing, I did save it (somewhere) on my PC.. Only good thing is lately I've been feeding her Natural Balance... But I am REALLY concerned about one of my other dogs - the Golden Retriever X, young the only canine I have that isn't a special need. She's been off I can't figure out why. Her dry food is (presumably) ok.. And, they don't eat canned. I supplement w/ cooked food. Wondering if it could be the dry or her cookies All my other beasts are fine... This whole thing really has me worried. I really think they know more than they are telling..(Surprise,surprise- NOT!!) So, I've taken her off the dry - home cooked only now. And, cookies are out also. Guess if she's still acting poorly, it's off to the vet. This has me totally baffled.. Thank heavens my cats other dogs are fine.(Knock on wood) What's a Mom to do? Wish us luck and say a prayer... Hugs, Patti her gang ** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

Re: cat food recall-royal cannin
I was just reading an article in the LA Times... It answered a question I asked yesterday about whether it had been substantiated by Menu Foods that the wheat from China is indeed the culprit for the poisoning. Here's part of that article: Executives at Menu Foods said Friday that they didn't know how the rat poison got into their products. They said they had stopped using an ingredient that might be responsible for the contamination. The company declined to say what it was. We'll systematically go through every ingredient and eliminate them as a possibility. said Richard Shields, Menu Foods' executive vice president. We don't believe our quality control was lax. Because aminopterin is widely used as a rodenticide in China, where Menu Foods gets wheat gluten that is used to make pet gravy for some of its pet-food brands, there is some suspicion that the country could be the origin of the problem. Although the FDA said it hadn't located the exact source of the contamination, it did say it had traced the delivery route of wheat gluten supplied to the Menu Foods plants in Kansas and New Jersey where the contaminated food was produced. Menu continues to produce pet food at the two plants. If we knew for certain that the wheat gluten from China was the culprit, then I would feel a tiny bit safer as I check every can in the house for ingredients that included wheat... How could it be that Menu Foods is systematically checking every ingredient and not have started with the ingredient under suspicion? And if they did, why haven't we been told unequivocally whether it is or isn't the ingredient responsible?? I don't know why I'm even asking such a question, when Mr. Shields has the nerve to be quoted as saying something as stupid as We don't believe our quality control was lax. My guess is he's been having more frank and open conversations with his attorneys than he's willing to have with us.

Re: cat food recall-royal cannin
I followed this link to the Menu Foods FAQs. It's mostly a propaganda page, but I did see something of value there... Belinda had posted a concern over dry food as well as the wet, but according to this Menu Foods page, they only produce wet food, no dry whatsoever. So unless this tainted mystery ingredient found it's way into another manufacturer's plant, then dry food should be safe, (I have such a hard time typing the word safe right now).

Oops! I stand corrected. Purina does do LIMITED business with Menufoods. Purina voluntarily withdraw Mighty Dog® 5.3 ounce pouch products in response to Menu Foods recall. However, Purina Mills, Inc. manufactures the majority of Purina's products. Purina Mills, Inc. is the largest manufacturer of animal feed products in the United States, producing more than five million tons of feed each year. Through its 50 feed mills, the company produces thousands of feed formulations specially designed for various types of animals, including beef and dairy cattle, goats, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry, pets, and lab and zoo animals. Purina also operates more than 35 retail outlets, which sell animal feed, lawn and garden supplies, hardware, and related items. This reminds me of the Simply Orange juice commerical. They own the trees, the grove, the oranges. If you are going to make something you might as well own it. Purina not only owns their own products, they make it too! I just cannot believe that these high-end products like Nutro do NOT manufacture their own products! I expected better quality from them. It is really sad to find out that a common commerical food manufactures their own product when these high quality pet food companies do not. Makes you wonder if spending that extra dollar for their expensive prices tag is worth it. And as far as the Wal-Mart Special Kitty question, I found the answer. The recall was for the pouches only. The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo! Search Marketing. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/arp/sponsoredsearch_v2.php
Re: cat food recall
Thanks Lori. I cannot believe I am saying this, but this might be the first time where it was okay to feed your cat Friskies. Although Friskies IS a commercial brand that is neither high quality nor contains human grade meat, I do not see any of their products on this list; which is a plus in my book! That is a relief for those of us who have cats who are junk food junkies. :) I cannot believe that Nutro Max Gourmet Classics and Nutro Natural Choice made it on the list! Nutro is supposed to be a high-end cat food! Lora --- Lori S [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: These are the wet cuts in gravy kind. They should all be off the shelves by now but check your cupboards.
