So far, from what I've read, it's a lot of different brand names, but the only thing recalled is the small packets of "wet" dog and cat food. Apparently none of the dry foods are involved. Is that what others have read? Since we use Science Diet dry dog food, I guess out mutt's safe.:cool:

I was at the site earlier today and it does appear the only foods that are effected are the small pouches and canned food. No dry foods. I was also surprised at the number of "big" name brands involved. We routinely use a couple of the brands mentioned but we use dry bags. I hope the recall doesnt eventually extend to the dry.

Global economy without global regulation leads to issues like this. The USA and the "UN" seem incapable of doing anything serious :( :mad: related to global concerns. I am truly confused about all the ramifications. "High End" pet food was also impacted. Thank goodness my dog and cat do not eat moist and/or wet pet food. Jay

Do you know what regulation is in place in Canada? Do you know what tests are required in Canada? We aren't even sure how it happened yet so it's premature to designate more regulation as a solution.

The poisioned pet food was produced at two plants in the United States not Canada as you assume because the company head quarters is in Canada.

I missed the March 23rd press release.

That wasn't the main point of my post anyway, which was a response to the idea that more global (read government) regulation is needed when we don't have all the facts yet.
