This theory is being pursued by the FDA. I know that pet food is not regulated by the FDA, but anytime the FDA is involved in anything, I get
suspicious. This is all starting to look like a coverup to me.
FDA: Pet food tainting might be intentional
Plastics chemical can make feed appear more protein-rich
WASHINGTON - Imported ingredients used in recalled pet food may have been intentionally spiked with an industrial chemical to boost their apparent
protein content, federal health officials suspect.
That’s one theory being pursued by the Food and Drug Administration as it investigates how the chemical, melamine, contaminated at least two
ingredients used to make more than 100 brands of dog and cat foods.
At this point, no one should be feeding pet foods to their pets (or any other animal or human for that matter). Preparing a well-balanced meal for
them with healthy human-grade food is best for them. Just make sure you add the right supplements. Nutritional requirements for cats is more complex
than for dogs.
