Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2007and once more... FDA expands pet food recall
(CNN) -- The nationwide pet food recall was expanded Wednesday to include products containing rice protein laced with melamine, a toxic agent, the Food and Drug Administration said. <sigh> > (CNN) -- The nationwide pet food recall was expanded Wednesday to > include products containing rice protein laced with melamine, a toxic > agent, the Food and Drug Administration said. > <sigh> Should I be looking for "rice protein" on a can of cat food, then, to make sure it's not contained in that food? I've been scanning every can I buy to make sure there's no wheat gluten in the ingredients list. So I will expand that search to include rice protein, but is that what it would actually say? I assume "melamine" would not be included in the list! (That is not meant as a joke. When you say "rice protein laced with melamine", is what you really mean that we shouldn't feed our pets *anything* containing rice protein, until the problem has been eradicated?) Joyce >(CNN) -- The nationwide pet food recall was expanded Wednesday to >include products containing rice protein laced with melamine, a toxic >agent, the Food and Drug Administration said. Rice protein isn't the same as rice flour is it? Science diet tinned food has rice flour in it... is it safe to keep feeding the girls canned food at all?! | >(CNN) -- The nationwide pet food recall was expanded Wednesday to | >include products containing rice protein laced with melamine, a toxic [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] | food has rice flour in it... is it safe to keep feeding the girls | canned food at all?! And what about whole rice?? If the whole rice was contaminated it would spoil all the by-products.... > (CNN) -- The nationwide pet food recall was expanded Wednesday to > include products containing rice protein laced with melamine, a toxic > agent, the Food and Drug Administration said. > > <sigh> It seems too much of a coincidence that so many kinds of pet food are contaminated, especially since they are contaminated with a variety of substances. I can't help wondering if this hasn't been the case for a long time, and the first case suddenly made the other manufacturers start checking.

Which is exactly why I *insist* on feeding our crew stuff made with "human grade" ingredients... if only they would eat it!

That is a more reasonable and less paranoid question than the one that has been percolating in my head...

Ditto... aside from concern over our beloved furbabies, this encourages paranoia... |
