Facilities
Menu’s manufacturing platform includes four state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Emporia, Kansas, Pennsauken, New Jersey, North Sioux City, South Dakota and Streetsville, Ontario. These plants utilize high-speed equipment and leading-edge technologies to produce pet food in aluminum and steel cans in all currently used sizes at rates of up to 1,000 cans per minute. With the pouch expansion completed in 2005, Menu is able to produce 85g pouches at the rate of up to 1,110 pouches per minute. Collectively, these plants are capable of producing more than one billion containers annually. These facilities are designed for maximum flexibility, which, in turn, allows Menu to provide the full range of products customers’ demand.

Depending on which news account you care to believe, two or three of the
Menu USA plants have been mentioned as the probable source of the contaminated
and recalled foods ... the Streetsville, Ontario, plant has NOT been mentioned
as a location that produced any bad lots of food.
Final resolution will probably depend on which plant locations actually received
a shipment of the suspected contaminated Wheat Gluton.
ANNNND ... there's always the POSSIBILITY that the rat poison contamination
MAY - stress MAY - not have happened at the supplier who produced the Wheat Gluton ...
the rat poison MAY have mixed with the Wheat Gluton in a truck or a railroad car,
OR at the storage container AT the Menu plant.
Hard to believe the Wheat Gluton was produced in CHINA ... but these days
nothing is impossible.
