More pet food recalls

I'll say it - stay away from ANYTHING made in China
mr 25 % does not care - nor does China...all they want is your money!

WalMart - sorry but if you go for cheap - you get less safe products
Tests on two brands of dog treats sold at Wal-Mart stores in the U.S. have shown the pet food contains traces of melamine — the same industrial chemical that caused an earlier recall of pet food products across North America in March.

Company spokeswoman Deisha Galberth said Tuesday that 17 tests confirmed the presence of the industrial chemical in Chicken Jerky Strips from Import-Pingyang Pet Product Co. and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading. The pet food was not sold in Canada.

Customer complaints about the products prompted Wal-Mart to pull the product from its store shelves in the U.S. in July. Company officials said they did not issue a recall of the product until testing could be completed.

And if your pets eat Krasdale Gravy - read on:

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) _ Some bags of Krasdale Gravy dry dog food may be contaminated with salmonella, which could affect both pets and their owners, Mars Petcare U.S., Inc. announced Tuesday. The company is recalling the product and asking pet owners who purchased it to throw it away and bring the bags in for a refund.

The new recall applies to five-pound bags of dog food sold in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania with the UPC code 7513062596 and a "best by" date of July 16, 2008 or July 17, 2008, according to a news release from the company.
