E-mail to Friskies - Mad Cow
I sent this today, will keep you advised of what their answer is.
Due to the current Mad Cow problems in the United States, I am very concerned about feeding my cat any cat food with beef or beef by-products in it. Can you please advise with verities of Friskies cat foods contain beef by products and which do not. |

Can you please advise with verities of Friskies cat foods contain beef by products and which do not. You should have mentioned "meat by-products" too. I have one that will only eat Friskies so I am interested in the replies. -- Cheryl "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.

I suppose if you are feeding your cats Friskies mad cow disease should be
the least of your worries. I've never, ever, seen quality dry cat food sold in supermarkets. Do your companions a big favor and check with your vet for a quality dry food appropriate for them.

Can you please advise with verities of Friskies cat foods contain beef by products and which do not. The only things I know about mad cow disease is what I saw on TV and if I remember correctly, livestock acquires the disease through the addition of bones (for calcium) to their commercial food. Therefore, you might also want to ask about foods containing beef bone, bone meal, or bone powder. If I also remember correctly, mad cow disease is caused by a protein and processing does not destroy this protein. |

The following site was written before mad cow disease appeared in the
USA but it has very good info about the disease, transmission, and species with similar disease (same pathogen?). http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/issues...-overview.html |
