Menu Foods refines recall

Menu Foods has previously recalled wet cat and dog food produced with adulterated wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. Over the past several days, Menu Foods continued a detailed analysis of production records at its Emporia, Kansas, plant as part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s ongoing investigation of this adulterated wheat gluten.

As a result of this work, one additional item has been added to the recall list and is shown below. Two additional production dates of eight varieties of pet food have been added to the recall list. These eight varieties of pet food had previously been withdrawn from the market and should already be off the retailer shelves. An updated list of the recalled products, including this addition, is available at http://www.menufoods.com.

Psalm 34
When the just cry out, the LORD hears
and rescues them from all distress.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted,
saves those whose spirit is crushed.
Many are the troubles of the just,
but the LORD delivers from them all.
God watches over all their bones;
not a one shall be broken.
Evil will slay the wicked;
those who hate the just are condemned.
The LORD redeems loyal servants;
no one is condemned whose refuge is God.

Help us reunite Vivi and all of our lost ones with their families. Send Your power to Madison and all of our sick animal lovers and their families. Bless, protect and guide Team Vivi and all the rescue workers.Welcome all who make the journey to Paradise tonight. Send all of us hear healing and renewing sleep as You take over the night watch.
We lift all the prayers and petitions of our hearts to you knowing You are in charge. Grant us an answer (in Jesus' name). Amen.

Thanks Sharon and Betty for your prayers for Scooter. It appears that he will be staying where he is at so everything should be working out fine.
Thanks again.

The FDA is having a press conference now to announce, we hope, the names of the other 4 pet food companies that received the toxic rice protein concentrate.

Pet Connenction is live blogging it now.

The Blue Buffalo Company has undertaken a voluntary recall of one production run of our Spa Select Kitten dry food. The production code on the recalled product is:

“Best Used By Mar. 07 08 B.”

I just got off the phone with my vet - not feeling a real warm fuzzy feeling feeding Natural Balance any more - he suggested I take my dogs off NB and switch to Eagle Pack - a brand he feeds his dogs. I checked out their website, www.eaglepack.com and am thinking about switching to their holistic line as their regular line has corn in it which to me is a waste of my money. At this point, I'm afraid to even feed my dogs!!! Thought I would pass that on - guess I'll be switching the new kitties over too

From what I understand Eagle Pack canned food is packed by Menufoods.

Merrick food, from what I have been getting info on, is a good food. Made in the USA and packed in thier own facility. All natural. http://www.merrickpetcare.com
I use Merrick canned foods and Fromm dry food. So far so good.

Since the recall I've switched to Canidae dry. I know people using it and it's always listed in the top 10 in whole dog journal, and I'd been meaning to try it for along time. They use human grade chicken and my doggies are doing great on it so far.
The website talks about the recall and how their foods are made...
http://www.canidae.com/index.html

Our pet shop is looking into Canidae too. The ingredients look good.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18210224/

There was something on MSNBC.Com about the tainted pet food being done intentional. Not sure if this link will work but check out the website, this is really getting scary.

Canidae is very highly rated by Whole Dog Journal, Ivve bought many Canidae and Felidae cans...months agowhen I opened one of the cans (don't remember if it was the dog or cat food, I found a little white thing in it about 1/4 inch log and it MOVED. Like a tiny worm, How it survived the cooking I don't know. I wonder why Canidae is significantly less expensive than some of the others.
Wellness said they use a Menu plant (other than the one involved in the recall) for "some' of their wet foods but they claim that their own reecipe is used and that the machinery is cleaned before each run
Still I don't feel like giving $ to Menufoods in any way since it seems that they knew there was something wrong with the food but kept selling it.
Their CEO who sold stock right before the recall may be going to prison eventually for that

Kathy, the Holistic Natural says it has white rice in it. That kind of scares me. Is it packed by Menu?
I put my kids on Nat. Balance, and now I'm sorry I did...

Nancy M, It sounds like the CEO with Menufoods did the same thing Martha Stewart, is it "inside trading", with news no one knew about? Am I confused again?
/0;

This is a good website with information about different foods. Who makes what and where...

Pet-food recall continues to widen

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Royal Canin USA said on Friday it was voluntarily recalling all of its dry pet food products containing rice protein concentrate after it found a melamine derivative in some products.

Melamine is an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilizers.

The announcement is the latest in a widening recall of dog and cat food products across the United States since mid-March. More than 100 brands of pet food have been recalled after reports of cases of pets developing kidney failure.

The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration has received more than 14,000 reports of pet illnesses so far. Officials have confirmed just 16 deaths but believe the actual number could be higher.

Royal Canin said it had not confirmed cases of illness in pets due to its products.

"We are taking this proactive stance to avoid any confusion for our customers about which Royal Canin USA products are safe and which products may be affected," the company said in a statement.

The company will also no longer use Chinese suppliers for any of its vegetable proteins, it said.

From the Barbaro blog:
Barbaro's baby brother was born at 2:08 am this morning weighing in at 148 pounds. All appears well at this early stage.

BREAKING NEWS UNITED STATES ROYAL CANIN PRODUCTS ARE BEING RECALLED.

IF YOU ARE FEEDING ROYAL CANIN STOP RIGHT NOW AND CHECK OUT WHAT IS ON THEIR RECALL LIST.

THIS IS FOR PRODUCTS SOLD IN THE U.S.

Wasn't there a psychic on here that posted about avoiding all foods etc from China and she was so upset over it and then people got angry at her?

Now I understand why that psychic was so hysterical about it - she sensed the terror and horror of so many pets dying from poisoned Chinese products.

List of Toxins Found in Pets Grows Longer, Pigs Fed Toxins
April 20th, 2007

If it wasn’t confusing enough, three more toxins were found in the urine and kidneys of sick pets.

Researchers in at least three labs found cyanuric acid, amilorine and amiloride — all by-products of melamine — in the crystals of animals’ urine, tissues and kidneys…

Finding cyanuric acid is the more significant finding, Hoff, Goldstein and Mullaney said, although they are not yet certain how toxic it is to animals.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web site said, “When ingested (by humans) in large amounts, the substance may have effects on the kidneys, resulting in tissue lesions.”

Also, pigs that ate contaminated rice protein were slaughtered and sold before the government could quarantine them. It is not clear whether the meat made it into consumers’ hands. The pigs ate salvaged pet food from Diamond Pet Foods.

Researchers also ruled out aminopterin, previously announced by NY state. No explanation is given as to how this decision was made.

My letter to the White Plains judge has just gone out in the mail. Hopefully seeing out of town pleas for Duke will show the Court the widespread sentiment for Duke's release.

Tomorrow is Vivi's 5th birthday! Happy birthday, little angel, wherever you are.

Barbara P in MI

Barbara P - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
we will all be remembering our girl tomorrow - no doubt. maybe she will pop out for some cake. one can still hope!!!!!

Please see this article about the possiblity of so many other products being poisoned including our food supply. And what to avoid:

www.huffingtonpost.com/david-goldstein/melaminetainted-corn-glu_b_46285.html

Also check on your elderly friends and neighbors and business associates - make certain they are not using the toxic waste junk - all of it.

THIS IS MY 4TH TRY TO TELL ALL OF YOU THAT BETTY LAYNES DAD PASSED AWAY EARLY THIS MORNING. I STARTED A CANDLE SITE UNDER "DADDY"

NATURAL BALANCE FOODS:Update - 4/18/07: We are currently waiting on test results for our Canned Venison & Brown Rice Formula Canned Dog Food and our Venison & Brown Rice Formula Dog Treats. We have voluntarily recalled these products as a precautionary measure, as they contain Rice Protein Concentrate. When we receive the test results on these products, we will update you further.

NOTICE: There are NO Corn Gluten or Corn ingredients
in ANY Natural Balance products.

I JUST TALKED TO MY VETS OFFICE. PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THEIR DOG AND CATS BLOOD CHECKED FOR TOXINS ARE PAYING $119 FOR THE BLOOD WORK. SO FAR NO PETS AT MY VETS
PLACE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM...THIS IS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

The American Veterinary Medical Association is keeping
a current update on
their web site of all products involved in the
recall. The web site is
www.avma.org

Happy Birthday, Vivi. We sure could use a mircle right now. Hoping the race on Sunday brings some tips or better about our girl.

Ruby - yes, this is "insider trading". Except this guy has participated in sickness and death of pets, and heartbreak for owners all for GREED. My friend David is a licensed stockbroker, he says they will come down really hard on this guy.
