More Pet Food Recall
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
Natural Balance has recalled its Venison line (the canned cat food is supposed to still be ok but why risk it?) because melamine was found in a rice protein concentrate that they had started using in the food. That annoys me on several levels, first because Natural Balance was one of the natural and holistic foods being touted as safe after the big Menu foods recall and many people switched to it. Secondly, because the cat food at least is promoted as grain-free. Added rice protein is not grain-free.

Natural Life pet products is recalling their vegetarian formula, so far no reports of injury to animals, but they say that since it contains wheat gluten the company doesn't want to take the risk. A reformulated product with no gluten will be forthcoming.
