The five pet food makers Wilbur-Ellis sold the melamine-laced Chinese RPC to are
1) Diamond Pet Foods, makers of Natural Balance dry foods (plant in MO)
2) Chenango Valley Pet Foods, makers of Drs. Foster & Smith and SmartPac/LiveSmart (plant in NY)
3) Royal Canin, plant in MO
4) C.J. Foods, makers of Blue Buffalo dry foods (plant in KS) and
5) American Nutrition, makers of Blue Buffalo and Natural Balance wet foods. This story, however, is far from over, as Sen. Durbin contends there is a second supplier whom the FDA has yet to name which purportedly sold potentially adulterated Chinese RPC to several pet food makers, also as yet unnamed.
