Pet Food Recall : Pet Owners no longer trust FDA

July 1, 2007

Many pet owners no longer trust the government. This because since the pet food recall started in March, The FDA has made the statement that everything not on the recall list is safe only to be told the following week that another pet food has been added to the list. According to the LA Times, one such pet owner from Washington decided to have his pets food evaluated by an independent lab in Deer Park, TX. This came after he called the FDA when the pet food recall began because his pets' food was not on the list. He suspected that the food was the cause of his dear friends death and offered up some of the unopened food for testing but his offered was declined saying that it would not be necessary. The pet food was found to contain ACETAMINOPHEN!

Menu Foods disputes ExperTox's findings saying the FDA found no such findings.

That same man has paid another lab in Oregon to test for a variety of common toxic chemicals - not including melamine - and that lab found nothing. He said he is going to check with a third lab to see if they can duplicate the findings of the Texas lab.

"I'm looking for a third lab to see if they can duplicate the ExperTox results," Earl said. "The FDA didn't want to do testing…. After each recall, they'd say everything else was safe, until the next week when they came out with another recall. After a certain point, you stop believing them."
