Recall - lab test show melamine in unrecalled food
The best advice is to still stay away from wheat gluten in any pet food.
Three Nutro cat varieties not on recall list found to contain melamine in private lab test. What this really means is anyone's guess, as no one is really sure if melamine is actually doing anything (due to lack of studies in cats/dogs) or a marker of an unknown substance, or if melamine is everywhere...... http://www.marinij.com/marin/ci_5630208 NUTRA MAX CAT GOURMET CLASSICS The following three 3-ounce varieties tested positive for melamine by UC Davis: - Chicken Cacciatore, UPC 79105352055 - California Chicken Supreme, UPC 79105300117 - Lamb & Turkey Cutlets, UPC 79105300148 ........related story at www.itchmo.com Durbin holds Senate hearing on pet food safety 2 PM, Thursday, April 12, 2007 http://www.durbin.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=272058 ........links to webcast at www.itchmo.com Banfield takes it back and doesn't want to extrapolate numbers. AP reports a different story shortly after Banfield numbers first released: http://tinyurl.com/2c88z4 Please check www.itchmo.com www.howl911.com or www.petconnection.com to keep up with the news on the recall. buglady take out the dog before replying |

"Lynne" wrote in message ... This is a friggen nightmare. ........Amen to that :-( Anyone seen any local news coverage of the REAL numbers or are they still saying 16 16 16? While I agree you can't truly extrapolate numbers for all of the US, I would think that the new VIN numbers would at least get talked about. And I understand why the FDA isn't quoting any more than they have personally confirmed. As there is no CDC for animals, there's really no one out there from the fed guv'mint who is willing to say the dreaded words *suspected cases.* buglady take out the dog before replying |

The best advice is to still stay away from wheat gluten in any pet food. ..........and to check your cupboards and take a couple sets lists of all recalled food with you in the car to drop off at those places you might not think of - like gas station marts. Ugh ugh ugh - out of the way places and people who just had not figured out the confusing mess of the recall and continued to feed it.
