Nutro Products Orders Removal of All Wet Pet Food Products Made by Menu Foods with Wheat Gluten"City of Industry, Calif. (April 10, 2007)- Earlier today, Menu Foods expanded its recall of wet pet food products to include additional wet pet foods suspected of containing melamine from Chinese supplied wheat gluten

Considering that the government still won't actually link the melamine to the illnesses and deaths....it could still be something else, that's contaminating other ingredients, which would just make things worse

Science Diet has already recalled one type of their dry prescription food...

That'd be the M/D, which is for diabetic cats...
Which Hills claims is the only dry food to use wheat gluten at all.

But what worries me more is the dry food ... they're all going to have wheat gluten

There's a difference between the food containing gluten because wheat is an ingredient and containing gluten which has been extracted from wheat.

The problem here is that Menu Foods used gluten which was extracted from wheat in a Chinese plant and then contaminated. (perhaps the wheat was contaminated before the extraction process, but you get the point)

In case you haven't seen it yet, Blue Spa joined the recall today - check the post on my journal.
