Purina Beneful - WARNING - Mold being found.

[xcolbi]

shhhh! Hopefully xcolbi won't see that post. Maybe you should delete it I've been trying to get her to put colbi on a better food ever sinse I met her.

Too late!

I think it's a hoax too now. I told my parents about it and they said that dog food can't get moldy...or spoil like that. And then my Mom said that "there's no such thing as tan mold, it's either blue, white, or green" (or something like that)

If it's wrong please don't be upset

Dog food can get moldy. If your parents insist on feeding Beneful just make sure your bag is safe.

Not only mold but the vitamin E used as a preservative can go rancid..

ANYTHING can get moldy and there are MANY colors of mold. So yes, that information is incorrect.

Anyhow, Molds in dog foods have occured before and many dogs lives were taken from it (Anyone remember Diamond dog food recalls?) so I wanted to warn anyone who may feed that dog "food." Wether it's a hoax or not, I still wouldn't feed it.

Please don't post unsubstantiated rumors as warnings just because they happen to fit your POV. There are people on this website who might get an unneeded scare because of crap like that.

If you can't find confirmation, chances are it ain't so.

Excuse me? I do believe I have every right to post "unsubstantiated rumors" as warnings because I care. As I said in the original post, the website seems a bit off to me, however it's better to be warned than not at all. And, someone learned something out of this - they were told that dog food cannot mold. Which is incorrect, there are many types of mold that have been and can be found in dog food, of any quality. Which was also similarly stated in my original post.
