Nov/06: Menu Foods Recall:
As you may have already heard, Menu Foods has voluntarily recalled most of its "cuts and gravy" type dog and cat food products that were made with tainted wheat gluten, causing liver failure in what could amount to thousands of cats and dogs in the US, Canada, and Europe. The manufacturing dates of the tainted pet food fall between November 8, 2006 and March 6, 2007.
Menu Foods has reported that the source of the tainted wheat gluten found in these products originated with one of thier suppliers, a company named ChemNutra Inc., who in turn imported the wheat gluten from a company named Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co., in Wangdien, China. This is the latest expanded list of pet food products recalled in the United States and Canada:
