I am hoping the other one isn't Nutro.:(

Here it is, for quick reference. READ THE WHOLE THING, it talks about human food too!!!:

The FDA at its news briefing a short while ago released the name of one of the last two companies said to have received the contaminated rice protein concentrate. That company, SmartPac, has now recalled a single production run of its LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice product. According to the company’s Web site, this voluntary recall was initiated last Thursday. News to us, but the FDA says they are now putting the latest recall on their Web site.

One company remains unnamed, and they are exercising what the FDA official called “their right” to test their own foods for the presence of contaminants. The FDA’s own tests may return tomorrow. In any case, figure on another announcement.
So what happens to all the recalled product and ingredients? The FDA says they will ensure they do not re-enter the food stream and are disposed of in accordance with state and federal law, whether in a landfill or by incineration.

The FDA also announced a “pro-active” program of investigation of wheat gluten, corn gluten, corn meal, soy protein, rice bran and rice protein concentrate, in both the human and pet-food systems. The goal is to raise industry awareness of the potential problems with suppliers. These products are widely used in human food production, in breads, pastas, “meat”-substitute products, pizza and more. Officials stressed they have no reason to believe the contaminants made it into these products, but said that the program will likely grow in the weeks to come.

They confirmed the contaminated material has gone to hog farms in California, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Utah and possibly Ohio, and to a poultry farm in Missouri. It’s unknown if any of the melamine has made it as far as human consumption.

The number of affected hogs alone could be in the thousands.

We’ll pick up more on the human food chain ramifications of this story as the day progresses.

I'm going to be giving up bacon for a while!

Oh crap (can I say that here?). Puck eats Nutro Lamb and RICE!:eek: I hope it isn't Nutro either. You know, what's the point of the FDA if they aren't going to immediately reveal the companies, even if they KNOW certain foods are contaminated!:mad:
