Dog food recall

Spotted this at the bottom of a Lindsey Graham article.

FDA announces nationwide recall of popular dog food

According to a notice from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Pedigree just recalled two lots of canned wet food for dogs that may contain sharp fragments of metal or plastic. The recalled products are 13.2-ounce cans of Pedigree Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor from lot codes 613C3KKCFC and 613C1KKCFC.

The affected products had failed quality control by Mars Petcare, the company behind the Pedigree brand, and were sent to be destroyed by a third party. Instead, they were reportedly fraudulently funneled back into the marketplace and were sold to unknowing customers. Mars is working with police to determine how the affected products ended up being sold instead of destroyed.

1. I haven't had a dog for several years now, but Pedigree was the brand I trusted.

2. Although not real sure, it doesn't sound like this is Pedigree's fault...

at least, that the stuff is out in the market. That was the fault of a 3rd party who was suppose to destroy the bad dog food. How did Pedigree's security and food quality checks let it get to the point they were canned and ready to be shipped tho? THAT is Pedigree's fault, IMO.

I just finished making my dog's meals for almost the full coming week. I'll need to do it again before I'm truly ready for it, but even doing this, it's cheaper... or at least, as expensive as, some of the cans of dog food I've seen... and I've not liked what I've seen on the labels. At its much less than what the Farmer's Dog sells for... for a dog Lexy's size. She's now about 160 pounds and stands waist high to me. Her tail is so strong, she can push me over with a single "whoosh!" And she now LOVES the new "Mama Cooking" that she's getting.

But at least I know what's going into my mix for Lexy... I love that dog to pieces. Enough, I dearly wish I could find her a family with young kids and a HUGE backyard (or a farm). Right now, she's stuck with two old timers. I feel sorry for her. But my cats chase her and love on her, so there is that! (LOL)

3. That's my reading too

Third party trying to make some money at the expense of pets' safety. Total bastards!

4. How about the dog food company inspect their product-oh I forgot

just let the public suffer and find out where the product is that could kill or cause a nasty vet bill

5. From the article, they did

Identify the contamination but the company or person engaged to dispose of the dog food decided to sell it on.
