God only knows. But I feel very good about Purina's dry products.

Why?

Two reasons, mostly. One, I've had nothing but great experience with
their feed products (going back 40+ years), especially Pro-Plan. Two,
Purina is not the kind of company (i.e., it's a very conscientious
company) that would put a few cents more profit ahead of the welfare
of dogs and the reputation of their company. They've just got too much
goodwill invested in the dog community. They're not a stupid, greedy
company.

Originally, they were a St. Louis company (part of Ralston Purina)
before being sold to Nestles), and I know more than a few of their
executives and top managers. Their technology center in Gray's Summit
(Purina Farms) is still not far from my place (although its moving to
St. Joseph later this year). Nestles was smart enough to retain
almost all of the old management team. And I know how hard they work
at testing and developing their feed products; I've visited one of
their plants, etc. They're just good folks, in my opinion.

So I put a lot of stock in things like that. I suppose I could be
dead wrong about them, but they've never, ever given me a reason not
to trust them.

I feed Cubbe Purina adult formula chow. I buy it in the 40# bag, and I
have only the one 50# dog so it lasts several months. I haven't needed
to buy dogfood since the recall. Since that particular bag didn't make
her sick before the news story, I'm assuming it won't make her sick
afterwards. But when I run out of that bag, I'll be worried about
buying another.

Why???
