Contaminated Pet Food, the Saga Continues

Now its not just wheat gluten. The latest news articles talk about some contaminated rice protein in North American pet foods, and contaminated corn gluten affecting South African pet foods. All of the contaminated products contain melamine.

Pet owners in the U.S. should check the FDA's recall list every day or so.

But check the news, as well. I saw an article that said some Royal Canin products were recalled, which was confirmed on the Royal Canin website, but these are not yet present on the FDA list. Check also the websites of the companies that make every type of food you feed your pets.

Stay alert!
