the pet-food recall expands

[mckitterick]

Does anyone know where to find a full list of recalls on pet food? It appears that a second ingredient (beyond gluten) is part of the problem.

This scares me because, yesterday, Tatsuko barfed immediately after eating. This in itself is not extraordinary, but in light of this news makes me nervous.

Thanks to james_nicoll for the tip.

Thank you.

What ingredient??!?!?!

[kalimeg.livejournal.com]

rice powder of some sort.

Feed little cats baby food if you are really worried.

That's assuming the food companies haven't been using the same ingredient....

Babies don't do wheat, so you would only have to check for rice stuff.

OK, if it says "rice protein" give it a miss.

The FDA has a link here:

Thanks.

Best Choice is one of those on the list

However, the ones recalled are not what we have ...
Apparently, if one wants to give their cat wet food, best to make it oneself.
