List Of Companies That Got The Tainted Rice Protein

[Geff]

From Itchmo:

Companies that received Wilbur-Ellis rice protein so far: Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, Diamond Pet Food, Royal Canin, and SmartPak. FDA has not yet announced all companies.

Also from Itchmo:

Second Company Likely Imported Tainted Rice Protein From China

Two US Senators say that a company in addition to Wilbur-Ellis has imported rice protein concentrate that is “also likely to be contaminated with melamine.”

The senators say that the FDA is aware of the second importer, but is not identifying the company. The information was provided to the senators from industry insiders, not the FDA. Despite a senate hearing, the FDA continues to withhold information about the companies involved.

all the dry Natural Balance products recalled due to tainted rice protein were manufactured by Diamond (diamond=blacklisted in my list from 2005 aflatoxin related recall).

this is NOT to say natural balance is innocent. (they are now also blacklisted)

I'm just so furious I bought their venison/rice for months without knowing it was basically a relabeled diamond product. I need to get the word out and spam every pet food forum I can google up.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
