WalMart Puts Recalled Food Back On Shelves!

According to Itcmo.com : "Menu Foods has re-supplied Wal-Mart with previously recalled pet food after placing a new UPC code over the previous UPC codes. They claim that the re-shelved foods are completely safe and that the packaging is the issue, not the food inside. The decision to place new stickers over the old UPC code was reportedly made together with Wal-Mart."

Itchmo.com goes on to say, "Menu Foods said all of the contaminated food was returned back to them after the pet food recalls in March. In order to put a “safe” product back on the shelves, Menu Foods and Wal-Mart put a laminated sticker with a new product code over the original UPC on the new pouches of pet food."

"Menu Foods acknowledges that the original product code that is on the packages is on the recall list. But company officials say recalls are also tied to production dates and that all Special Kitty cat food with the new laminated product codes are safe.", according to Itchmo.com

They added that all of the Special Kitty cat food made after the recall has “QA OK” placed on the pouch.

Wal-Mart Removes Chinese Made Dog Treats From Shelves

August 20, 2007

Well, they're not calling it a recall but Wal-Mart has quietly pulled 2 Chinese made dog treats from its' shelves. On July 26th, the retail giant removed

Chicken Jerky Strips from Import-Pingyang Pet Product Co. and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading

because of consumer complaints that the treats were making their dogs sick, spokeswoman Deisha Galberth said late Monday.

"When we took it off shelves at the end of July, we pulled it based on the customer feedback so we could do testing prior to announcing anything publicly," Galberth said. "That's why did not make a public announcement — it was still going through the testing process."

They stopped selling it but didn't bother to tell any of the poor unsuspecting customers who bought the treats and have been feeding them to their beloved dogs!

The FDA Needs To Change! Sign The Petition!

"Although the FDA is charged with protecting public health and the safety of the nation's food supply, the agency seems to be lost in the woods, unsure of what to do in the face of mounting complaints of sick and dying animals who ate only dry food that did not contain wheat gluten, the ingredient that the FDA 'pinpointed' as being responsible for contaminating dog and cat food." according to PETA. Peta goes on to say, "The agency continues to take a wait-and-see approach to this critical situation even though evidence from reputable laboratories strongly suggests that there may be another cause of the contamination, including a potentially excessive amount of vitamin D3 in the food, which can produce symptoms similar to those seen in animals who recently got sick or died after consuming only dry foods."
