More food recalls

[fragrancehound]

I thought I would post this here just in case some of you have not heard about the latest round of food recalls.

Drs. Foster & Smith Adult Dry Lite Dog Food
Drs. Foster & Smith Adult Dry Lite Cat Food

SmartPack LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food

All of these foods are being recalled because of the tainted rice protein concentrate from Wilbur-Ellis.

Quick question:
Is it safe for the dogs to eat Science Diet now?

If by safe, you mean won't make them violently ill, yes, I believe the only recalled Hill's products are Feline. However, Science Diet is garbage, IMO, and there's many other foods for not much more money that Duke would do really well on.

All these recalls makes it so scary for our pets!

Not just pets anymore. CBS did a story last night about the FDA looking into human food. Another chemical is believed to have been found (sorry, I can't remember it's name), and the FDA is checking human foods and several other ingredients like corn, wheat and others (I believe). The list was too long for me to memorize in the short segment it was on.

In other words, the worst may be yet to come, and it may well involve what we eat. It will also then involve what those who feed raw feed.

What's most interesting to me was that CBS indicated that both these chemicals - the melamine (sp>) we know about and the new one - can be used to "fluff up or puff up" protiens, and that these chemicals might have been intentionally put into the food. That's scary.

agilityk9trainer, that's crazy! It'll be tough to figure out what to feed our dogs AND ourselves! Fortinatly, I eat mostly all natural foods and hopefully it won't be contaminated!

You can find the link to what I think is the CBS story on these chemicals entering the human food chain here:

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/health/main204.shtml

It's currently under "Human Food Protiens at Risk."

My system is so old I couldn't get it to play, but I think this is the story I saw last night.
