    Food manufacturers have long held the belief that American consumers want the cheapest food available.
    This mishap with pet food can serve as a wakeup call that using the cheapest food ingredients can actually become a costly mistake.

    The wheat gluten that caused the deaths of the pets did not come from the United States.
    Country of Origin Labeling is one way to assure that Americans have the opportunity to purchase food raised in the United States.

    Pet Owner Pressures FDA To Further Investigate Toxins In Cat And Dog Food

    Don Earl filed a Text of Petition for Writ of Mandamus against the FDA on August 9. Earl’s cat chuckles died from eating tainted pet food.
    http://www.itchmo.com/don-earl-files-lawsuit-against-menu-foods-and-kroger-1674

    This action is an effort to force the FDA to properly conduct a credible investigation into the findings by independent labs of toxins other than melamine in pet food. Also, the action is calling for the prevention of the FDA’s program of systematically destroying essential pet food evidence.

    Issues raised in the action include:

    The FDA focused on melamine, to the exclusion of contrary evidence and expert testimony showing melamine is virtually nontoxic, even at levels many times higher than that found in pet food samples.

    The FDA kept secret for three months a recall by rendering company, Darling International, of 1.4 million pounds of a meat protein ingredient commonly used in pet food, which was contaminated with melamine.

    The FDA appears to be following a predetermined script, which is based exclusively on unsupportable theories related to melamine from China.
    The FDA has moved to aggressively discount credible evidence which if properly investigated would uncover the source of toxins responsible for the deaths of thousands of companion animals.

    The FDA has controlled, withheld and otherwise manipulated critical information, and destroyed essential evidence, to the detriment of pet owners who suffered damages caused by the poisoned pet food epidemic.

    ABOUT THE PET FOOD LIST
    This is a list of pet foods NOT on the recall list.
    The companies on our list have made statements that their pet food is not affected by the Menu Foods recall.
    The list is intended as a starting point for your own research - it is a list we are compiling of pet foods deemed safe by the pet food companies themselves. It is neither an endorsement of any pet foods listed, nor is it a complete list of all pet foods not on the recall list. And, even though a brand is listed, we cannot guarantee the food is safe. The pet food companies are the only ones who can make that statement.

    EVEN IF A BRAND YOU FEED IS ON THIS LIST, VERIFY IT WITH THE PET FOOD COMPANY. Links to their websites have been provided when possible.
    For those with just the business name listed, we have obtained information from their websites. We will be contacting them for further information and will update the list appropriately as soon as possible.

    WHAT IS AND IS NOT ON THE LIST
    We are listing pet food brands that have NOT had recalls due to the recent recall. If certain products sold under a particular brand name on our list are recalled, we reserve the right to remove the entire brand even if only specific products have been recalled. Alternatively, we may make a notation that some of their products have been recalled. See the Del Monte listing as an example.

    GO TO THE LIST OF FOODS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST
    Due to the length of the list, it is now three pages.
    A - H | I - Q | R - Z
    [ updated April 18, 11:40 pm ]
    A brief description of updates to the list can be found on our forum.
    You'll also find recall related information on our blog at PetsitUSA.com
    Before feeding any food on this list verify it with the pet food company.
    Links to their websites have been provided when possible.

    Some of these are undersuspicion of pet sickenings and deaths not yet recalled. Natural Balance has been recalled.
    Avoid all of the following foods now! I would absolutely stop feeding or not begin feeding any of the brands below. The Dry Food debacle is now beginning.
