the response to billion dollar question is the water is mixed with livestock manure. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened? Is it conceivable the FDA is unaware of the practice? When in doubt, follow the money. Public awareness of the fact foods typically eaten raw are grown in animal dung would be bad for business. Changing methods due to a public outcry would be expensive to the mega agricultural co ops. But, what if YOU were one of the three people who died? Paying off your heirs is orders of magnitude less expensive than changing farming methods. The current spin is Americans are in danger from Chinese imports. Skim through last year's FDA press releases to get a better picture of the situation here in the good old USA. Americans are dying every day due to the malfeasance of corporate America, all under the watchful eye of its FDA lackeys. At least in China, FDA corruption is punishable by death. This is the environment in which two the deadly pet food recall resulted . On June 13, 2007, the Pittsburgh Tribune quoted FDA spokesman, Mike Herndon, as saying, "The FDA found no trace of the medication in five samples of one type of foods it tested in the past week. At this point, FDA sees no compelling need to analyze any more samples for acetaminophen." No mention by the FDA of acetaminophen is to be found in the fdas pet food to recall paragraph . ExperTox found acetaminophen in 5 of between food samples it tested. Three of those reports are posted on the lab section of this site. I am in contact with a forth person whose samples tested positive for acetaminophen. The fifth positive sample has been reported to have been submitted by nameless pet food company . Subsequent to the above FDA official position on a acetaminophen in pet food , i and three others with acetaminophen positive samples were contacted by ExperTox for permission to release the samples to the FDA, at the FDA's request. It is assumed the nameless pet food company was on asked same time. In other words, the 5 mystery samples the FDA claims to have tested have no connection whatsoever to the 5 acetaminophen positive samples tested by ExperTox.

the avma announced a alarm on its Web site on September 13 to inform its members and the public about what was known. Today, the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) issued a statement saying it also has become aware of an unusual number of dogs presenting similar symptoms and abnormal test results associated with consumption of some jerky treats. The ACVIM statement is available at www.acvim.org/uploadedFiles/Jerky_Treat_Info_September_14.doc . The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently testing several products to see if a contaminant can be found. So far, they have ruled out melamine, one of the chemicals that led to the massive pet food recall this spring, but has yet to identify anything that might be making pets sick. While a list of brand/product names of affected treats is not yet available, the AVMA has learned that all complaints have involved jerky treats from China. We recommend that pet owners use their best judgment in this matter. Suspected cases should be reported to the FDA. To find the number for the FDA district office consumer complaint coordinator in its region, visit

the fda warns domestic animal bearers who feed their dogs chicken jerky products to watch the animals for signs of decreased appetite or activity, increased water consumption and urination, and vomiting and/or diarrhea. Owners should consult a veterinarian if signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours. Earlier this year, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. pulled some chicken jerky dog treats from its shelves after company testing revealed the presence of the industrial chemical melamine. Subsequent FDA testing failed to find that or other contaminants. Posted by 5:30 PM 15 comments Wednesday, September 19, 2007 Bravo! Recalls frozen raw pet food thanks therese for to the heads up... Bravo! announces a voluntary recall of select tubes of three of its poultry products for cats and dogs. , which is called pet food , because of the products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, while the other product has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Both Salmonella and Listeria are organisms which can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and if there is cross contamination, in people, especially small children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people with Salmonella infection may only suffer short-term symptoms, such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Long term complications can include arthritis and other more serious ailments. Healthy people with Listeria infection may only suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. The company has received no reports of illness in either people or animals associated with any of the three products. The recalled products are distributed nationwide to distributors, retail stores, internet sales and directly to consumers, and they can be identified by the batch ID code located on the hang tag attached to the bottom of the plastic film tubes. The recalled products should not be sold or fed to pets. Pet owners should return unopened frozen tubes of food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should dispose of opened tubes of product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash receptacle) and return the washed plastic batch ID tag to the store where purchased for a full refund. reminded two pet food : Product: Bravo Original Formula Chicken Blend frozen raw food product numbers on

the guaranteed analysis supplies very general guide to the composition of the food. Crude protein, fat, and fiber, and total moisture are required to be listed. Some companies also voluntarily list taurine, Omega fatty acids, magnesium, and other items that they deem important by marketing standards. pet food to standards and provisions with national Research Council (NRC) of the Academy of Sciences set the nutritional standards for pet by pet food the industry until late years . The original NRC standards were based on purified diets, and required feeding tests for pet food the s, which was maintained, in order complete and balanced. to be pet food the industry, the feeding tests found too restrictive and expensive, so AAFCO designed an alternate procedure for claiming the nutritional to suitability of pet food , as them the foods for compliance with Nutrient Profiles. AAFCO also created expert committees for canine and feline nutrition, which developed separate canine and feline standards. While feeding trials are sometimes still done, they are expensive and time-consuming. A standard chemical analysis may also be used to make sure that a food meets the profiles. In either case, there will be a statement on the label stating which method was used. However, because of the family rule in the AAFCO book, a label can say that feeding tests were done if it is similar to a food that was actually tested on live animals. There is no way to distinguish the lead product from its family members. The label will also state whether the product is nutritionally adequate (complete and balanced), and what life stage (adult or growth) the food is for. A food that says all life stages meets the growth standards and can be fed to all ages. Chemical analysis, however, does not address the palatability, digestibility, or biological availability of nutrients in pet food . Thus it is unreliable for determining whether a food will provide an animal with sufficient nutrients. To compensate for the limitations of chemical analysis, AAFCO added a safety factor, which was to exceed the minimum amount of nutrients required to meet the complete and balanced requirements. In 2006, new NRC standards were published; but it will take several years for AAFCO s profiles to be updated and adopted, let alone accepted by the states. pet food the industrial love checked, in order to say the fact that it s more highly regulated than human food, but that s just not true. pet food dispatched in a bit over a regulatory vacuum; laws are on the books, but enforcement is another story. The FDA has nominal s exists pet food to the authority over state cables . But the real enforcers are the feed control officials in each state. They are the ones who actually look at the food and, in many instances, run basic tests to make sure the food meets its Guaranteed Analysis, the chart on the label telling how much protein, fat, moisture, and fiber are present. But regulation and enforcement vary tremendously from state to state. Some, like Texas, Minnesota, and Kentucky, run extensive tests and strictly enforce their laws; others, like California, do neither. The Manufacturing Process: as pet food is formed
