Well, okay, but last year it was aflatoxin in the corn
Diamond was using, etc. There's always going to be
something. Is the per-dog incidence of salmonella or other
food poisonings higher among BARF-fed dogs than various
toxicities are with dogs on commercial foods? I have
absolutely no idea. Single-sourcing means that when
something goes wrong it affects a lot more people and dogs,
but I'm not sure the aggregate risk goes up.

I've been trying to figure out what this all means for
food-buying behavior. Obviously you don't buy the affected
products, but I don't, anyway. Is it safer to buy from a
smaller manufacturer like Eagle Pack than it is from a
humungo producer like Purina? I tend to think the risk is
about the same but I really don't know.
