This might help on the food... Both bags were purchased in early July, 2007. It is not known at this time whether one or both of these foods contain acetaminophen.

I now have a Summary List of Non-Recalled Food that has tested positive for contaminants on my blog in the download section...   it includes the Canidae.

I've mentioned elsewhere that my cat went into very bad compulsive licking on Felidae. My (& my vet's) assumption at the time was an allergy to one of the exotic ingredients. We just never dreamed that Tylenol was the exotic ingredient.....

Who would?   Shocked

Readable lab results are (finally) in hand, and will be posted soon... 

(name needs to be blacked out, scanned in, uploaded, etc.     it's being worked on...)

Their response is SO disappointing.

Reminds me of Natura Pet... 

Thanks for the update Mary - it is GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much for posting this information.  And please do let us know what happens with the further testing...
8  Dry and Wet Foods / General Discussion about Dry and Wet Packaged Foods / Re: Arsenic levels in RICE on: August 25, 2007, 09:48:04 PM
I hadn't heard of this either.  Anyone know if organic rice has any less arsenic in it?

(this is just mind boggling...)
9  Dry and Wet Foods / Nutro / Re: Nutro Natural Choice Indoor Adult Dry Cat Food on: June 03, 2007, 01:58:44 PM
I'm just now seeing this...

Medilla, can I have permission to repost what you wrote on my blog?  I'm listing a whole bunch of reports of Nutro dry food causing illnesses here (along with links to other sites that have lots of Nutro reports)

Thanks!

I got my cat Woody to gain some much needed weight by giving him some half-and-half every day.  He does fine with dairy, and lets it sit out a few hours before he drinks it (which someone said helps with the lactic acid)
11  Recall Related Information / General Recall Discussion / Re: Natura Testing on: May 24, 2007, 02:29:09 PM
This just makes me wonder - what the hell took them so long to test for cyanuric acid? They've known about it for MONTHS. (It's been over 2 months. We can say MONTHS now. mind boggling)

12  Recall Related Information / General Recall Discussion / Re: Waiting to see which food will be next in recall on: May 11, 2007, 11:44:07 AM
I posted the whole article with additional information that was deleted from it (gotta love google!) on my blog...
(www.petfoodtracker.com)

I'm sure Therese will be posting it soon too...   
13  Dry and Wet Foods / Back to Basics / Re: Garlic in Back to Basics on: May 11, 2007, 10:11:58 AM
Adding on to what Davis said...

Mike, it's all about PERCEPTION and belief.  And a lot of us have the belief that garlic is bad for our pets.  That perception ALONE is costing B2B sales.  Doesn't matter if it's not true.  (Frustrating to you - absolutely.)

I have a cat that loves garlic (flavored) food. I often make a ground turkey thing for myself, lots of garlic and italian seasoning and vegies. My cat Woody LOVES it. I always pick out the garlic so he doesn't get any chunks, but he gets lots of the flavoring. He *loves* it.  Given a choice between ground turkey with garlic and ground turkey without garlic - he won't touch the one without it.  So I can see why it's in your food!

But, a few weeks ago (before I knew who you guys were or saw this thread) I was looking for a new food, looked at the B2B site, saw the garlic, and removed B2B from consideration. Just sayin...      We're all so scared of food now, that ANYthing that sets off an alarm bell (again, whether it's totally true or not) is going to get that food eliminated. 

You guys could do the sticker thing (I'd thought of it too even before reading Davis's post!).

Maybe it's time for some market research...  even something as simple as a quick exit survey on your website.  (Did you buy? Why not?) 

Just my 2 cents...
14  Recall Related Information / Kudos / Re: Thank you Pet Food Express on: May 11, 2007, 09:55:00 AM
PetFoodExpress stepped up again, and posted results of tests *they* got done on the food they sell.   

I contacted them back on Day 3 or 4 of the recall, and they were the first ones to respond to me.  I shopped there for years before I left the Bay Area, and I keep wishing they'd open up a store here.  They rock.

Thanks Pet Food Express!
15  Dry and Wet Foods / General Discussion about Dry and Wet Packaged Foods / Re: My quest for the "perfect" cat foods, canned and dry on: April 15, 2007, 05:14:59 PM
Is Nutro Natural Choice Dry still on your 'might feed' list?  If it is, please, take it off. 

Along with a lot of self-reported anecdotal posts and comments I've seen online, the FDA guy I spoke with last week confirmed they are conducting tests on this and other dry foods, as they have received many reports of illness/deaths due to dry food. The two names coming up most often are Iams and Nutro.
