There is no danger to the human food chain.
Melamine is diluted thru animal ingestion and poses no risk.
There has been no contamination to the human food chain.
Heh.

The FDA has been shooting its mouth off since March 18th, 2007.
Credibility is zero in my perspective.
Believability is lower than that.
That is probably a oxymoron.. I’m entitled..

Melamine is poison. Cyanuric acid (used to sanitize pool water), is also poison

Poison and human lives don’t mix well.

This has been proven to the heartbreak of thousands of furbaby owners.
TheMasterOfTheUniverse and I question strongly if BuddyTheDog,
Was a early victim of this poison, fed with love, unknowingly.We miss him so!

I think the USDA and the FDA need to pull their collective heads out of the
Cesspools they currently occupy and get some real Doctors. Not veterinarians, to test the long term effect on human beings.And for those of you that believe the CDC is involved give them a call I did and was oh so not happy at what I was told.

Poison kills.

Itchmo reports:
NOTICE To All Concerned Pet Owners:

In the on-going FDA investigation of contaminated rice protein concentrate, the FDA has attempted to link other brands that might have possibly been affected due to potential cross contamination of ingredients. Evolve Kitten Food made on March 12, 2007 has now been included in this group.

As of today, 99.4% of the 27,560 lbs. of product made on March 12, 2007 (Best Used By Sep 13 08) has been accounted for and removed from sale. Currently there is 168 lbs. that has not been accounted for. The above 168 lbs. is a total of 9 units in 3# and 7# sizes. Based on the date of manufacture, retail information, consumer contact and expected daily consumption, we strongly believe ALL remaining products from this date have been safely consumed with no adverse effects.

The Evolve formulae do NOT contain any wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate, and the FDA tests confirmed that no melamine was present.

As a valuable Evolve customer, we want you to be aware of this situation despite the fact no melamine have been found by independent testing. This action is a precautionary measure only, as there is no evidence to suggest these products in any way pose a health hazard.

This action effects the March 12, 2007 manufacture date and product only. No other Evolve products have been or will be involved. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

Thank you.
