I can't believe the choice you guys get over in the USA!!!

If I went to a hyper store over here that sells cat food, you would be
looking at
Royal Canin
Iams
Natures choice
Pets@home
Eukanuba
Whiskers
Go Cat
Hills Science plan
Purina
James Wellbeloved
Nutrientce Holistic
Joe & Jills
And that is about all that I can think of presently
I am sure that there are a few more of course, but can't think of them
right now
We do get wet canned food too, of course..
But you did seem to have an amazing list available to choose from!!

For the benefit of all of the UK'ers benefit, what went so wrong, that
all of these brands have had to be recalled?
I ask only because it seems odd that so many brands seem to have been
affected.

I really do hope this is limited to overseas and won't get into my spot's

it never ceases to amaze me how fussy she is with her food, she'd rather
starve than eat that crap if I buy anything other than her favourite brand.

Dude! What choice? ever single one of those brands is exactly the
same formulae in exactly the same can from the very same factory.
The only difference between them is the labels and the price. And
the particular style of marketing to suck in each particular type of
pet owner.

The whole freakin' economic system is total bullshit.

This the one I always feed my kitties.  Canadian company.
Usually antifreeze is to blame for kidney failure that fast in dogs
and cats.

What is it with the USA and all these food recalls lately?
The last one was peanut butter, wasn't it?
Spinach?  I can't remember the others.

Disgruntled employees?  Too much drug testing?
Too much workplace harassment going on unpunished?
Too much a.s kissing by incompetent workers?

The cat food was actually manufactured in Canada.  Although, at this
point we haven't got a clue what country the gluten was purchased
in.

The peanut butter we are guilty of...I rarely eat the stuff but I
prefer the one from Health Food stores where you grind the whole
peanuts in a machine. Yum.

Spinach...did we ever really find out what happened with that.  I
heard it came from irrigation water.  My dad used to live in Modesto
and we used to swim in the canal that is the actual water they use for
crops.  I do hope it gets treated before it goes in!  We used to swim
in it when we were kids and our dad made us wear waterproof shoes and
show immediately following.  I don't think I'd opt to swim in there as
an adult.  Although those valley temperatures might sway me if I ever
visited again.

Best,
Heather

Last I heard, they suspected pigs tramping across the cattle fields and
then though the spinach fields, draging the E.coli with them.  I don't
remember ever hearing if that was a conclusive finding though (but they
did find holes in the fences where they suspect the pigs got through)

Yikes.  Just looked on the FDA web site.  Their update reads:

quote
The joint FDA/State of California field investigation found the same
strain of E. coli O157:H7 as was involved in the illness outbreak in
samples taken from a stream and from feces of cattle and wild pigs
present on ranches implicated in the outbreak.  The investigation team
also found evidence that wild pigs have been in the spinach fields. We
continue to look for more information as to the source and mechanism
of contamination.
/quote

I love raw spinach and I started eating it again not long after we
were told it was OK.  I usually eat it three times a week.  For
whatever reason, I didn't buy it for the couple weeks leading up to
the outbreak.  Very fortunate in that case.

I thought you were in the UK, you can only buy Royal Canin and Hill's from a
vet and I've never seen several of those brands in any shop

Our local branch of "Tesco's" for example has

Own brand
Sheba
Felix
Whiskers
Go Gat
IAMS
Purina One
Olly's (I think that's what its called)

There are even more recalls listed if you go to the individual
manufacturers sites. My cats ate some Nutro Max Gourmet Classics about 2
months ago, so I went to their site and found that the stuff I fed them
has been recalled, but it's not on the above list.

You can get a current list at www.menufoods.com.

It's interesting that the list includes both supermarket brands like
Companion sold in Royal Ahold chains like Giant near Washington, DC
and Stop and Shop in New York and New England and, on the other hand,
the "superpremium" brands like Science Diet, Iams and Nutro which need
to maintain their reputation so they can charge more.

I've heard that back before Hills/Science Diet was owned by Colgate
Palmolive, the purpose of Science Diet was to be a food for lab
animals. If you bought an ordinary pet food, its formulation would
keep changing with the price of commodities and that might screw your
experiment. On the other hand, Science Diet would always be the same.
I doubt that Science Diet would be appropriate for such a use these
days.

Well, I notice that Iams canned dog food has changed at some point. It
is listed at

http://www.star-k.com/kashrus/kk-passover-petfood.htm

as a pet food which may not be used during Passover. Curiously, an
observant Jew may feed a pet pork on Yom Kippur but may not derive any
benefit from leavened grains during Passover.

I didn't realize a dog could be Jewish or observed any religion for that
matter. Do people that choose Kosher foods for their dog also have them
circumsized? Just asking :-)
