Didn’t we just have an article posted yesterday about a Chinese person who said that so many different fillers were added that by the time someone got the “product” they didn’t know what was in it? As I said, the unscrupulous manufacturers are cleaning their country of industrial wastes by shipping them to us. We are NO better, trying to find a use for a bio-deisel waste product, glycerin, and performing tests to see how much can be put into poultry feed before the glycerin affects the weight of the birds and hinders their appetites before they go to market! Says it all…

Big business needs to do the responsible thing and dispose of their industrial wastes properly, instead of using our pet food and animal feed as receptacles (and eventually our stomachs from eating meat) for their trash!

What kind of a country do we live in that allows this?

Starting at the top there are 8: aminopterin, melamine, cyanuric acid, amiloride, amilorine, ammeline and ammelide (these 2 derivatives found in discarded pet food from the ONE lab that tested for them - fed to chickens or swine, can’t remember now - FDA report), and acetaminophen.

Who knows what else was in that “scrap” melamine used to spike the wheat flour - anything I’d guess. We’re way past the point of looking at single ingredients for toxicity…..it’s a toxic soup.

FDA: “Oh just send that to the rendering company. They take everything. We don’t care what they do with it, just get rid of it.”

7 months later - ends up in pet food.

FDA: “Out of sight, out of mind. Just act like nothing is wrong. Them taxpaying consumers are too dumb to put 2 and 2 together. It’ll blow over soon. Wanna see my new magic trick?”

Here’s a VERY informative story! So glad China has their priorities straigt. Changing them signs is far more important than cleaning up the poison.

Manassas (AP) - A pet food maker Wednesday recalled some of its dog food sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores because of concerns about possible salmonella contamination.

The recall by Brentwood, Tenn.-based Doane Pet Care is unrelated to recent pet food recalls connected to tainted Chinese proteins used in some pet food production.

Only a single batch of 55-pound bags of Ol’ Roy Complete Nutrition dog food is being recalled. The dog food was produced at a plant in Manassas and distributed to 69 Wal-Mart stores in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Ohio. Forty of the stores are in Virginia.

The company recalled the dog food after the Food and Drug Administration detected the presence of salmonella. People handling the food could potentially be exposed to the bacteria, along with pets that eat the food. The company said no illnesses have been reported.

Affected bags have the code 04 0735 1 and a “best by” date of April 13, 2008.

Doane Pet Care is a division of the privately held, McLean-based Mars Inc. manufacturer of candy and pet foods.
