Pet Food Recall Expands
At first, the cat & dog food recalls were scary. We trust these big companies to provide a safe and healthy product for our pets, and it’s unnerving to think their quality control has broken down to the point where poisons go undetected. As the list of affected companies and contaminated brand name pet foods grow, so does our unease about what we’re feeding our pets.
Now the latest news adds dog biscuits made by an Alabama company and sold by Wal-Mart under the Ol’Roy brand, to the contaminated list. The Food and Drug Administration said the manufacturer, Sunshine Mills Inc., is recalling dog biscuits made with imported Chinese wheat gluten. Testing has revealed the wheat gluten, a protein source, was contaminated with melamine, used to make plastics and other industrial products.
Also Thursday, the FDA warned consumers not to give American Bullie A.B. Bull Pizzle Puppy Chews and Dog Chews to their pets. The FDA said salmonella could contaminate the dog treats, made and distributed by T.W. Enterprises of Ferndale, Wash.
Sunshine Mills said it would post a complete list of the recalled dog biscuits on its Web site, www.sunshinemills.com.
A list of the cat food and dog food products involved in the recall is online at www.menufoods.com/recall.
