I just wanted to give everyone a link about some melamine in baby food here in the US. On mail.com there is an article about melamine in baby formula here, and it is baby food made in the US. I’m wondering where the ingredients came from. But the FDA is trying to assure parents that there is no problem, because it is a small amount of melamine and cyanuric acid. Hmm, sounds familiar, doesn’t it. Here is the link. I hope it works.

FDA has zero tolerance for melamine in baby formula - right up until they actually FIND melamine in baby formula . . . . . . .

It should be against the law to sell toddler “fruit” snacks that are corn syrup and sugar!

Can’t say how happy I am that I no longer need to read labels for the most part. And after reading that CSPI article, I’m even more thankful for the holiday share our farmer made available. Nice big share that will last a bit :)

In the pet food industry several different companies found that the facility they contracted with was not making sure the bags actually contained only the ingredients they listed.

As a result you are seeing some label changes and changes to other facilities that are making the food.

Keep your eyes open for bag changes and price changes.
