Upper management setting examples they say for taking cuts in pay? Paul Henderson still isn't suffering any with his 22% pay decrease. You can bet HE doesn't eat anything out of a can on that quoted ridiculously huge salary in the Canadian Press!!! He isn't worth more than minimum wage IMO. Menu Foods Cutting BACK !

Nadine L. Your Right, at least the pet industry should adopt a standardized labeling system like the technology we have running www.scoringcontainers.com where the user or purchaser can put in a code and see the ingredients ,their source and tests to prove the anounts used in the container. But one problem,they don't want anybody to see the crapy ingredients they use and the source site. The problem I see is that it still doesn’t say what really IS in that bag! Nadine L.

The problem I see is that it still doesn't say what really IS in that bag! How about "Contains no feathers or hair." Eeeeeuuuuwwww.

Conspicuously displayed on each and every bag was a large white sticker proudly proclaiming that this food "Contains no Melamine or Cyanuric Acid"! I had a mixed reaction. Bully for them for making the information so easy to find. On the other hand, what a shame that such a warning should ever have had to become necessary. And can you imagine the reaction of any one of us at this same time a year ago had we seen such a warning on a pet food bag? I wish I thought it was all over, but alas, I'm not nearly that optimistic . . . . . The other day I was in my local Pet Supply store, and did a double take while passing the Innova EVO shelf.
