Recall to be Expanded to include all Dry Food - FALSE FALSE FALSE
"John Hart" wrote in message ... Please don't spread horrible FALSE rumors. This issue was in the works since January. The website you posted is a PR release by PETA. This isssue was in the works in January has nothing to do with the current recall of canned Menu Foods : http://money.cnn.com/2007/03/29/news...rsion=20070329 16 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning letter to pet food maker Iams about an additive in some of its products for fat dogs and cats. The letter, dated Jan. 8, 2007, and posted on the FDA Web site Thursday, said that several Eukanuba-brand dry and canned pet food products made by The Iams Company, a unit of Procter & Gamble Co. (Charts), contain chromium tripicolinate, which is only allowed as a source of supplemental chromium in swine feed. Video More video CNN's Fredricka Whitfield asks a veterinarian what pet owners should be feeding their pets now. (March 24) Play video The company will take chromium tripicolinate out of future formulations of its Eukanuba Veterinary Diets Optimum Weight Control and Restricted-Calorie dry and canned products for obese dogs or cats, spokesman Kurt Iverson said. He pointed out that the FDA had not ordered a recall of the products now in pet owners' homes or on store shelves. buglady take out the dog before replying |

Looks like you did not read the linked article at CBS Marke****ch: (duh)
The FDA has confirmed DRY PET FOOD COMPLAINTS. The article is dated MARCH 29th, 2007. No reference to January information anywhere. What does your education (or lack of) tell you the next step will be? Of course if you'd like to see suspected poisen contaminated food remain on the market,then your even sicker than you appear to be. Maybe you work for IAMS. FDA Confirms Dry Pet Food Complaints; PETA Calls for Emergency Expansion of Recall to Include Dry Products PETA News Conference Urges Consumers to Boycott Iams Over Possible Recall Delay and History of Cruelty to Cats and Dogs Last Update: 6:19 PM ET Mar 29, 2007 WASHINGTON, March 29, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- With the FDA now confirming that consumers suspect dry pet food may have sickened or killed their companion animals, PETA will hold an emergency news conference on Friday and call on the FDA to immediately expand the pet food recall to include all dry varieties subject to complaints until they are chemically tested for safety. PETA will also ask the FDA to investigate Iams in order to find out if the company knew about the contaminated food before calling for a recall. Pennsylvania resident Yvette Faulkner - whose cat Sassafras suffered kidney failure and had to be euthanized and who states that Sassafras ate only Iams' dry food - will speak at the news conference. for further info SEE THE ARTICLE!!! ie: READ IT!!!! http://www.marke****ch.com/News/Stor...D6322C%2D3919% 2D430D%2D82CD%2D342A6720CC32%7D&siteid=mktw&dist=n bk&symb= |

"John Hart" wrote in message ... Looks like you did not read the linked article at CBS Marke****ch: (duh) .........Sure did. The FDA has confirmed DRY PET FOOD COMPLAINTS. ........Still doesn't have anything to do with the current wet food complaints. I can't help it if you can't comprehend that. The article is dated MARCH 29th, 2007. No reference to January information anywhere. What does your education (or lack of) tell you the next step will be? ..........Obviously you didn't read the CNN link I posted. It's the same information without the PETA blather. Of course if you'd like to see suspected poisen contaminated food remain on the market,then your even sicker than you appear to be. Maybe you work for IAMS. I feed raw. Are you a PETA puke? Go away. buglady take out the dog before replying |

Yes, no doubt the FDA has "received complaints" about suspected dry-food poisonings; at this point, every pet owner who's aware of the situation is pretty panicked, and ANY serious illness in a pet is going to look suspect. Many of the anecdotal stories of dry-food-linked illness, though, do seem to involve animal 13+ years old, an age at which dogs and ESPECIALLY cats are very susceptible to renal failure regardless of diet. And it's important to remember that PETA doesn't care diddly-squat about our pets. PETA believes that the most loved and pampered pet would be better off dead than suffering the "humiliation" of being a pet. And they've killed thousands of animals that trusting people believed they were going to rehome. PETA's holding this fear-mongering press conference because they WANT us to have nothing at all that we can safely feed our pets. Lis |

though. Why these nutjobs are news I don't know. Ditto. It's nasty propoganda. Yet another day in my practice I've had to hold staff over on shifts (not something they love on a Friday) just to handle phone calls about this. These poor people are panicked and so afraid. It's just not fair to them. PETA should be ashamed, but I know they don't care. |
