More MenuFoods recall or a repeat?, Iams offers free food
I'm a little confused and missed this last night. In the MenuFoods press
release they only mentioned by name the new veg food they recalled, then said there's more food that had already been recalled. Apparently they expanded the recall dates of previously recalled brands. I don't know if it's on the menufoods page or not, but I'll send you to this PetConx post for the brand names: http://tinyurl.com/2n96t7 http://iamspromise.com/ Want a free bag of Iams food? They're ready to give away 1 million pounds to keep their customers and are so impressed with themselves - they bolded those words. But is it with or without melamine? Have all the lots been tested? If not, why not? At this point it is irrelevant if they don't use either wheat gluten or rice protein powder because it is obviously not over yet. And I didn't see anything in their Promise that said they will never change the formulation without reflecting that change on the label, did you? Oh, and it's signed by the Employees of Iams. I want it to be signed by the President of the Company. Time to put your mouth where your money is or you won't be getting any more money........from pet owners. ---------------------------- The Pet Food List is a list of products NOT recalled. But please, do your own research and verify that the label reflects the contents: http://www.thepetfoodlist.com/ You can sign up for a recall notification at www.itchmo.com Might make it easier for people who don't read NGs. Send the link to your friends. You can also sign up for FDA recalls, though they're lagging behind Itchmo. www.fda.gov The Pet Food Tracker is a list of products RECALLED: http://petfoodtracker.blogspot.com/ All of these sites and more have done a stellar job at providing sorely needed information. But due to the virtual hourly releases Ap 17, one can't reasonably expect them to keep the lists up to the minute. So don't check it once and think everything's fine. I'll also note that if they have a PayPal button, you might toss a few dollars their way. I'm not affiliated with any of these people. At one time they had lives, now all they do is the pet food recall - which is OVER a month old at this point. The Pet Food Tracker has a link to a blogpost on the right of the above page. I don't know this guy, but quite frankly, he is confirming my worst fears. It wouldn't surprise me if the industry insiders were leaking info to unofficial outlets: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-...ten-now-l_b_46 116.html Earlier today, after receiving a tip from an industry insider that products containing tainted rice and corn gluten were about to be recalled, I contacted an FDA Public Affairs officer for confirmation, and received a quick and firm response:................. And just for laughs (heh heh) what's in your Twinkie - adds a new dimension to the Twinkie defense..... http://www.thestar.com/sciencetech/article/203199 [..] "For example, 14 of the most common chemicals we use are found in Twinkies. I mention the Twinkie-Industrial Complex. It's tied in with major industries that are also often tied with government policy. This isn't mere food," he says. "This is industry." Just for kicks I looked up Rice Dream to see if there's any rice protein concentrate. Nope and they make this statement about their products. I wonder how many other food manufacturers can make this claim? You might start asking. This isn't just about pet foods. If Congress wants to lay under the covers with industry and not do anything, the power of the pocketbook might be the only thing that will change anything. http://www.tastethedream.com/product...t/1543/204.php The most accurate information is always on the label on the actual product. We periodically update our labels based on new nutritional analysis to verify natural variations from crop to crop and at times formula revisions. The website does not necessarily get updated at the same time. The values on the website are intended to be a general guide to consumers. For absolute values, the actual label on the product at hand should be relied on. Sorry to turn this post into a blog....... :-( buglady take out the dog before replying |

More MenuFoods recall or a repeat?, Iams offers free food
It seems they found melamine in rice gluten as well, and are adding other
foods... I think it's worth checking the news every day, perhaps more than once a day: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/petfood.html http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/petfoodrecall/ http://www.menufoods.com/recall/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18173908/ -- ie ride fast, take chances.
