PET FOODS CONTAINING RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE |
|
|
OTHER PET FOOD BRANDS CONTAINING RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 04/18/07
Recent reports of Wilbur-Ellis selling melamine-laced rice protein concentrate to five different pet food companies has sent pet parents into a downward spiral of mistrust for the pet food industry and the authorities who regulate it. Both the FDA and Wilbur-Ellis, the U.S. distributor of the poisonous substance, have refused to identify all of the pet food companies who purchased the rice protein concentrate. As of this writing, we only know that Diamond, the makers of Natural Balance's venison-based forumulas, was one of the five companies. Until the FDA or Wilbur-Ellis fully discloses all five pet food companies, it is prudent to assume that ANY pet food product containing rice protein concentrate is potentially poisonous. If any of our readers has knowledge of a pet food other than Natural Balance Venison formulas which contains rice protein concentrate, please send us an email and we will post it here, with the appropriate disclaimer. Itchmo.com's forum has also created a special thread for reporting foods containing RCP.
DISCLAIMER: The foods listed below are not under recall. However, they all have been reported to contain rice protein concentrate (a.k.a., brown rice protein; rice gluten). While some companies are claiming their RPC is "safe" and/or is not from the same supplier involved in the Natural Balance recall, we advise against using these products until the FDA has completed its investigation and emphatically declared all RPC, be it from China or elsewhere, as 100% free from contamination. |
