why?
the chemical in question is not normally looked for, there is no 'standard' test for it. it took 5 labs 2 weeks to detect it in the food, and they are now showing menu foods own labs how to detect it. how is that the fault of menu foods?
It came from out of the country and the "drug" used in the food is banned in the U.S. I don't know about Canada and Mexico (which are also involved in this recall). Sounds to me like they are trying to use cheap means to save a buck. Menu Foods makes the pet foods for all these companies. Makes you wonder about those high-end brands that charge more and give you the same garbage.
By the way, MenuFoods has known about this for several months. I wonder about the poor animals in the shelters. How many of them have died? Also, this drug (used as a poison in other countries) has been around since the 1950's for cancer patients.
As was said, if you don't know what you're looking for you won't find it. And testing all those different brands would take months. I think Menu Foods knew they were in trouble which is why they did this "voluntary recall." Speculation perhaps, but maybe an insider was going to blow the whistle.
I have no sympathy for them. Now we all know where the pet food comes from. Iams (and others) equals cheap pet foods from a third world country. It might not even be the pet food. It might be contaimination on the cans (recycled?).
Even a rat doesn't deserve this.
