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.

Geez, I have two CANS of Natural Balance Venison and Green Pea cat food.
Should I not feed it to them for fear that it will also end up on a
recall list within the next week?

I wouldn't if I were you.

Dicalcium Phosphate, Kelp, Flaxseed, Guar Gum, Sodium Tripolyphosphate,

Schidigera, Sodium Chloride, Carrageenan, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Sulfate,Vitamin
