this is the american importers statement from today,yet it fails to
meantion the latest Del Monte recall of Ol`roy,Jerky
Treats,Pounce.which is also excluded from the official count.

names the chinese supplier and worth reading

http://www.xzay.com/english/index.asp

is the chinese companies real site

I lost the link showing the chinese company imports 40 000 tons of
vital wheat gluten into the usa....and chemnutra only represents 792
tons over 4 months.......

So the question should be who`s using the rest of this vital wheat
gluten

Its also strange google only gives chemnutra 161 returns and the
chinese company 650 returns yet they both old companies with millions
in annual profits

before anyone posts how the fda says everything else is safe and it
didn`t make it into the human food supply......just remember for 2
weeks they said all other pet foods were also safe then they reported
Del Monte`s recall

Yes....Avoid anything with wheat gluten in it, for either cats or
people....I bought some cat kibbles today that had, "corn gluten" - The
labels are printed so small that I needed a magnifying glass and a
flashlight in the supermarket in order to read them!

wheat gluten, even when its not tainted by chinese rat poison is
most concentrated in pizza dough and pretzels
I can't eat anything with wheat gluten in it because of an allergy
so I thought I'd mention the pizza & pretzels thing

I didn`t even think of pizza companies,which do everything possible to
cut costs,and would explain where the rest of the shipments are
going.......thanks for the info
