SmartPak added to Recall List

Posted by pet | Poisoned Pet Food | Wednesday 25 April 2007 6:42 am

SmartPak announced that it’s recalling a single production run of LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food. The company said the food contained rice protein concentrate poisoned with melamine.

Published reports previous to this have assured us Ad nauseam that the poisoned wheat and rice gluten did not get into the human food chain. All eyes have been on pet food, poisoned or if you prefer tainted pet food.
We have now learned that hog farms in six states and at least one chicken farm were also poisoned.

April 4th we were told that the wheat gluten was food grade.
“Yes, it is food grade,” Del Monte spokesperson Melissa Murphy-Brown wrote in reply to an e-mail query.” That was melamine-tainted wheat gluten ; no one has admitted what grade the melamine-tainted rice gluten was.

So this poison is in the human food supply through major food products supplier and processor.
The FDA is finally now testing “wheat gluten, rice protein concentrate, corn gluten, corn meal, and soy protein and rice bran” more than a month after initial pet food recall.
I expected the FDA or Wilbur-Ellis to announce the other 2 company names as well as the other supplier of the poisoned glutens.

However Wilbur-Ellis and FDA won’t name the other 2 pet food companies.

Companies that received Wilbur-Ellis rice protein so far: Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, Diamond Pet Food, Royal Canin, and SmartPak. FDA has not yet announced all companies.
Senators claim a second source of tainted rice protein. FDA has yet to name this other company.

It just keeps getting more and more mysterious,it is actually rather frightening. Its already gotten into the hogs and possibly chicken, what is next??
