Mars pet food recall over Salmonella

Another pet product has been recalled over fears it may be contaminated.
This time the product is dry dog food produced by Mars Petcare which is suspected to be contaminated with Salmonella Schwarzengrund.
The two dry dog food products are Krasdale Gravy dry dog food and Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry food and tests conducted by the FDA on 10 samples from seven products brands from the company revealed two positive samples of salmonella.
As a result Mars Petcare has voluntarily recalled five-pound bags of Krasdale Gravy dry dog food sold in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania with the UPC code 7513062596 and use by dates July 16, 2008 & July 17, 2008.
The 50-pound bags of Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry food sold in Pennsylvania have a UPC Code: 4286900062 and a use by date of July 12, 2008.
Although the threat may not appear to be such a concern for humans it should be remembered that Salmonella can be transferred to people handling pet food, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to it.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says to date, there have been 64 cases of illness in humans related to Salmonella Schwarzengrund reported to authorities.
None of the reported cases have been directly linked to the recalled product and the FDA is working with local and state officials, and with officials at the CDC in the investigation.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain; sometimes the salmonella infection enters the bloodstream producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting; some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.
Well animals can be carriers and infect other animals or humans and if your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, you are advised to contact your veterinarian.
This petfood scare is the latest in a plethora of warnings regarding pet products often originating from China which have included melamine in Chinese-made dog treats, contaminated fish food, pain killers in pet food, and many companies have been forced to recall products.

It Really Isn't Over Yet

Salmonella Contamination Sparks Dog Food Recall
Date Published: Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007
Salmonella-tainted dog food is being recalled in several states. Mars Petcare US, Inc. of Tennessee announced the recall Tuesday. The company said that it is recalling 5 lb bags of Krasdale Gravy Dry Dog Food because the Salmonella contamination has the potential to make both pets and people sick.
The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) said the dog food was sold in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The dog food bears the UPC code 753062596 and a “best buy” date of July 16, 2008 and July 17, 2008. FDA tests on a sample of the food found Salmonella bacteria. Anyone who purchased the dog food should throw it away and return the bags for a refund.

Salmonella is a potentially deadly type of food poisoning, symptoms of which include fever, abdominal pain, nausea, gas and bloody diarrhea. Symptoms appear within 36 hours of exposure, and usually last four to seven days. In very severe cases, Salmonella can lead to kidney failure and other complications. Salmonella can be particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Some victims of Salmonella will develop a disease called Reiter’s Syndrome, a difficult- to- treat condition that causes severe joint pain, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. Reiter’s Syndrome can plague its victims for months or years, and can lead to chronic arthritis.
Pets can become ill with Salmonella poisoning if they eat the tainted Krasdale Gravy Dry Dog Food. But people can become sick as well, through cross-contamination. To avoid cross-contamination, anyone handling pet food should wash their hands with hot, soapy water when they are done. Likewise, pet food bowls, dishes and scooping utensils should also be washed after use. Dry food should be stored in a cool (under 80-degrees) dry place in its original bag or a container with a lid. Unused wet food should be refrigerated, and the thermostat should be no higher than 40-degrees. Any stale or spoiled food should be thrown away. Pet food also should not be stored or handled anywhere human food is stored or prepared.
The recall comes just ten days after the Pennsylvania Department of Health warned consumers in that state of the potential for Salmonella-contaminated pet food. Since January of 2006, at least 25 people in Pennsylvania have become ill with a rare strain of Salmonella called Schwarzengrund. Several of the victims have been children and infants, and nearly all of the cases have occurred in families where people have close contact with pets. State health officials were investigating the possibility that the Salmonella outbreak was linked to tainted pet food. There has been no word yet if any of those cases were caused by Krasdale Gravy Dry Dog Food.

"Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog Because.."

"Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog Because.."

I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT AND SAVE YOUR PETS LIFE IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

A man's vet said commercial dog food killed his dog, Noble, because preservatives it contains caused his kidneys to fail.In fact, research discovered dog food contains at least 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they cause:
Kidney cancer
Bladder cancer
Skin cancer
Stomach cancer
Spleen cancer
Leukemia
Liver dysfunction
Major organ failure
Immune system collapse
Severe allergic reactions
Birth Defects
Blindness
Chronic Diarrhea
Hair Loss and
Behavior problems, including increased aggressiveness --> very dangerous if your dog is around children
And if you think, that buying foods labeled as chemical and preservative free makes them safe, think again... it's just more lies!
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and author, Henry Pasternak, rips back the veil of lies about dog food labeling..
"Many pet foods advertised as "preservative-free" do, in fact, contain preservatives.
..manufacturers don't have to list preservatives that they themselves did not add.
Many preservatives make their way into pet food at rendering plants before the meat is even sent to the manufacturer. An analysis of several pet foods labeled "chemical free" or "all natural ingredients" found synthetic antioxidants in all samples."
Henry Pasternak also reveals..
"Although you won't see it on the label, since it is often added at the rendering plant and not by the manufacturer, ethoxyquin (EQ) is used to preserve most dry pet food.
EQ is the most powerful of all preservatives and may be the most toxic.
The use of EQ is ... permitted in pet food.
...factory workers exposed to it exhibited side effects similar to those of agent orange:
a dramatic rise in liver or kidney damage,
cancerous skin lesions,
hair loss,
blindness,
leukemia,
fetal abnormalities, and
chronic diarrhea.
In animals, EQ has been linked to:
immune deficiency syndrome;
spleen, stomach, and liver cancers;
and a host of allergies."

Understanding Canine Digestion

Last time we spoke about the workings of canine digestion. Today I'll tell a little about why it's important and the effects of providing your dog with substandard food typically found in commercial dog food.
Your dog's digestive capabilities are no accident. They are a very carefully construed mechanism of its teeth, stomach and large and small intestines.
Beginning with his sharp, jagged molars, which are designed for gripping, tearing and shredding, and ending with the large intestine, which aids in the elimination of waste, all parts of the system work together to process the consumed food with purpose and deliberation.
With their short and simple digestive tracts, large amounts of vegetation, grains and fiber are difficult for dogs to process. Their systems are much more conducive to the breakdown of animal proteins and fat.
As such, pet foods which boast corn, soy or their corresponding meals as their primary ingredient are of little use to your dog, nutritionally-speaking. The "Crude Protein" analysis on pet food labels is only a measurement of the amount of nitrogen in a food -- not the quality of the protein. Because of this, pet food companies can use the cheaper by-products of human food production, such as soybean meal, to "boost" protein numbers. Animal-based protein is nutritionally superior for dogs. Animal-based protein is better absorbed and retained and is higher in essential amino acids like methionine, arginine, and taurine, all of which are absent in plant-based proteins.
Pancreatitis and Fatty Liver (Hepatic Lipidosis) are diseases that can be caused by a variety of factors such as infection, exposure to toxins, stress and improper diet. Pet food that is very high in saturated fats can certainly be a contributing factor.
Diabetes is a chronic degenerative disease of dogs that can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, stress and diet -- specifically, the feeding of excess amounts of simple carbohydrates. Many pet foods are loaded with simple carbohydrates such as white flour, sucrose, glucose and fructose. These are cheap, highly processed carbohydrate sources that can stress the pancreas, leading to diabetes.In addition, clinical studies suggest that the long term feeding of chemical antioxidants (preservatives such as BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin) have extreme adverse health effects on animals.
As such, for optimal digestive health, it would seem to be a no-brainer to feed your beloved dog a diet rich in animal-based proteins and fats, moderate in carbohydrates, and free of chemical additives and preservatives. When perusing the commercial dog foods available in the grocery store aisles you might find this to be a tricky proposition. It seems most are nutritionally substandard, in at least one respect or another, with many failing in nearly all respects.
This is made even more difficult because dog food manufacturers use deliberately confusing double-talk to make the food appear much more nutritious than it really is. In fact, they lobby against the FDA for their 'right' to keep it confusing.
The ideal solution is to feed your pet freshly prepared food, thereby giving you the power to provide all the nutrients he needs to maintain a healthy body. Combining animal-based proteins with vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals and other foods will furnish all the requisite protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, without all those pesky by-products, fillers and chemical additives and preservatives. If you understand this then there is no question you are feeding your pet the WRONG pet food. CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE. http://www.healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07 YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID.

Does this tell you anything about the pet food you feed your pets

Pet Food Recall: China Has Been Spiking Cat & Dog Food All Along
By Jeff FreelandMay 1, 2007

While Americans are panicked over the pet food recall - it has been revealed that China has been spiking dog and cat food all along. For years, producers of animal feed all over China have secretly supplemented their feed with the substance, called melamine, a cheap additive that looks like protein in tests, even though it does not provide any nutritional benefits, according to melamine scrap traders and agricultural workers here, reports the New York Times.
Pet Food Recall: China Has Been Spiking Cat & Dog Food All Along
Melamine is at the center of a recall of 60 million packages of pet food, after the chemical was found in wheat gluten linked this month to the deaths of at least 16 pets and the illness of possibly thousands of pets in the United States.
***
"Many companies buy melamine scrap to make animal feed, such as fish feed,” said Ji Denghui, general manager of the Fujian Sanming Dinghui Chemical Company, which sells melamine. “I don’t know if there’s a regulation on it. Probably not. No law or regulation says ‘don’t do it,’ so everyone’s doing it. The laws in China are like that, aren’t they? If there’s no accident, there won’t be any regulation." The Times reported that powdery scraps of melamine -- a chemical used to make plastics and fertilizers -- were secretly mixed into animal feed in China.
“The melamine powder has been dubbed ‘fake protein’ and is used to deceive those who raise animals into thinking they are buying feed that provides higher nutritional value,” The Times reported.
***
The newspaper also said the practice is widespread in China, which has little regulatory supervision. The paper also notes that evidence is mounting that Chinese protein exports have been tainted with melamine and that its use in agricultural regions like this one is widespread. But the government has issued no recall of any food or feed product here in China.
The Chinese government disputes reports that melamine-tainted products from its country caused pets to die. But on Friday, that country banned the use of melamine in wheat gluten, rice protein, and other vegetable proteins exported from China or used in domestic food supplies.

how does this describe it?

Good Morning. will someone tell me how does this describe it. How many times does someone we don't know approach us trying to sell something?Most of the time it is not something we don't need or even want, but how many times do we either tell them no or just buy something to get rid of them. Well you can do that in this situation too but what you are not seeing is if you have a pet then this is something you DO need and should want. Too many times we pass on something and later we regret not buying because by that time it is too late, in this case your pet may already be sick and it is too late to save them. How would you feel then, I hate to think of that.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PET AND YOUR PEACE OF MIND KNOWING YOU DID THE RIGHT THING AND DID IT NOW YOU WILL BE THANKFUL SOMEONE (ME) approached you to check out my website. http://www.healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07

Do you believe this or is it a cop out?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 27, 2007 -- Blue Buffalo Company, Ltd, Wilton, CT, is initiating a nationwide recall of all canned dog foods sold under its "Blue" dog food brand, all canned cat food sold under its "Blue Spa Select" cat food brand, and all dog treats sold under its "Blue" dog food brand. The Company is taking this voluntary action after learning that the FDA has confirmed the presence of melamine, a substance not approved for use in food, in rice protein concentrate used by the contract manufacturer in the production of some of these products.
It should be noted the "Blue" canned dog and cat food products were not formulated or labeled to contain rice protein concentrate, and that the manufacturer, American Nutrition, Inc. added the rice protein concentrate to these products without Blue Buffalo Company's knowledge or consent. For this reason, Blue Buffalo Company is concerned that it can not have any faith in the integrity, or the accuracy of the ingredient labels of any of its products manufactured by American Nutrition. Therefore Blue Buffalo is withdrawing all products manufactured by American Nutrition, including products that American Nutrition claims do not contain rice protein. The FDA investigation into the inclusion of the rice protein by American Nutrition in Blue Buffalo's products is ongoing.
Do we really know for sure if this is true about them not knowing or is it a cop out? So can we TRUST this company or can't we? You can decide if you do or don't but believe me I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE BIG COMMERCIAL PET FOOD MAKERS. Even if their food hasn't been recalled THERE IS ENOUGH CHEMICALS AND PRESERVATIVES(MORE CHEMICALS) TO POISON YOUR PET. Don't believe me check out my website and see for yourself.The proof is in seeing for yourself .

should you trust commercial dog food even if it is NOT recalled

Hi again. Let me ask you a question. Would you or should you trust commercially made pet food even if it has not be recalled? My answer to that is NO no matter what. First off with all the chemicals and preservatives in the pet food you will poison your pet. You can continue to buy food at the pet store, but when your pet is not himself and you take your pet to the vet and the vet tells you his kidneys are failing and he doesn't have much time left what are you going to do then ? It doesn't matter what you do you can't save him and then you will say I should have checked out the site and changed food. But all thatis left is the short time you would have left with your pet and I can tell you you will be sorry. I hope that never happens to you but it can.PLEASE check out my website and make the right choice to switch to Lifes Abundance healthy pet food. http://www.healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07 Thank you. You won't regret it I promise you that.

Just stop and think for a minute

Good Morning. Let's for one minute just stop and think DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR PETS FOOD? Do you really care what is in your pets food? Well you should. Ask yourself WHY DO I HAVE MY PET? I don't know about you but I have have my dog because I love the companionship and I care about dogs so much that since I was informed about what kind of very nasty ingredients go into commercial dog food I stopped feeding my dog commercial food even though we were giving him the best food we could find in the pet store. I looked at a website that was sent to me and when I saw the video it turned me off to store bought pet food. My dog loves all the treats and the food and I know I am giving him the best food I could possibly give him period. I want my dog to be healthy and I don't want his kidneys or liver damaged by all the stress of eating store bought food. All I would ask of you who read this is please go to my site and just watch the video if it opens your eyes to commercial food wonderful if not then there is nothing I can say or do to help you help your pet live a long and healthy life. Do yourself a real big favor and just go to the sight and view the video then you can decide if you want to keep feeding your pet commercial food or give your pet the healthiest food you can. Thank You . May your pet live a long and healthy life so you can enjoy your time together. http://healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07

Taking Control Of Your Dog's Nutrition

It's dinnertime. Do you know what your dog is eating? If you're feeding him or her commercial dog food, the answer to that just might come as a very big surprise.
Dog Nutrition or Russian Roulette?
That "Chicken Flavor" dog food you've selected may have some chicken in it. Then again, it just as well may not. It's not required to, pursuant to the FDA guidelines concerning dog food ingredient listings. That "Lamb & Rice Formula" for dogs certainly has some lamb and rice in it -- but the total combined could be as little as 25% of the total packaged product, and still conform to regulations. What comprises the remaining 75%?
Is that 75% all goodness? No!
A dog can look healthy on the outside even when its insides are being contaminated, don't wait for the point where it's organs can no longer withstand the daily barrage of toxins.... that day is surely coming and only you can stop it.
Be the master your dog deserves and find out how to feed it properly

Dogs Die From Toxic Dog Food

Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine develops protein tests to accurately detect pet food-poisoned dogs
Even though Diamond, Country Value and Professional brand dog foods have been recalled for containing highly toxic aflatoxins, they have caused at least 100 dog deaths in recent weeks, say Cornell University veterinarians, who are growing increasingly alarmed. Some kennels and consumers around the nation and possibly in more than two dozen other countries remain unaware of the tainted food, and as a result, they continue to give dogs food containing a lethal toxin. To better screen affected dogs so they can be treated as soon as possible, Cornell veterinarians report that they now have a new test, adapted from one used in humans, to accurately assess aflatoxin poisoning in dogs. Currently, about two-thirds of dogs that show symptoms after eating the tainted food die.
"Entire kennels have been wiped out, and because of the holiday these past few weeks, the dispersal of recall information was disrupted," says Sharon Center, a professor of veterinary medicine who specializes in liver function and disease at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell, which is emerging as a central clearinghouse for information about the dog food poisoning.
The Cornell Vet College is continually updating its Web site to keep the public and veterinarians informed as new information on the poisonings emerge. Cornell's Animal Health Diagnostic Center (AHDC) is analyzing blood and liver samples from sick dogs around the country, testing suspected dog food, conducting autopsies and collecting as many livers as possible from dead dogs to confirm cause of death, tracking dogs that have died and following up on the health of dogs that survive the food poisoning.

You Are What You Eat And So IS Your Dog

So, how'd you like to be a, "meat by-product? Well, of course you wouldn't, it just sounds nasty, doesn't it?
But what is this whole "by-product" business all about?
Unfortunately, that's just it -- business. By-products are generally defined as animal parts that are not fit for human consumption, such as bones, organs, blood, fatty tissue and intestines. So, in essence, someone got the great idea to process all the leftover garbage in the meatpacking plant and call it, "Dog Food."
And, if that alone wasn't bad enough, the offal is processed in varying degrees of nauseating. For example, while "chicken by-product" may encompass heads, necks, feet and intestines, at the very least, all the parts must come from chicken. The same is true for lamb by-products, beef by-products, etc.
Mmmmm, sounds heavenly, doesn't it?

Perhaps you are thinking the safe route would be to spend a little more and get your brand's "premium," "super-premium," "ultra-premium" or "gourmet" offerings. It might surprise you to learn that products labeled as such may not mean what you've been lead to think, because there is no legal requirement.
Learning to decipher dog food labels can be considered an art form unto itself. For the health of your dog, let us give you the basic tools you need to master that art form.

you think store bought pet food is good then think again

You're about to discover the terrifying-truth about commercial dog food that is linked to the deaths of thousands of dogs across the US every single day.
Many world-famous Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and published Dog Care Experts universally agree any dog that eats commercial dog food is at a much higher risk of dying prematurely and by the time symptoms are noticeable, it's often too late to prevent an agonizing death except by lethal injection..
You see, the major dog food companies fill their precessed food with preservatives to increase it's shelf life and maximize their profits.
They know these preservatives kill millions of pets every single year but without them, their profits would not be as large... AND THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE MORE PROFITS.
You should never have to stand over the dead & diseased body of your own sweet dog because companies spending millions of dollars each year to get your trust, are simultaneously taking your money and selling you poison, knowingly. check out my site http://www.healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07 SAVE YOUR DOGS LIFE GIVE HIM HEALTHY NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

More info I found for you and for your pets

Feed your pets only the same natural, healthy foods you would feed yourself. Pets typically develop diabetes, urinary tract problems and irritable bowel syndrome because they've eaten foods with “fillers," and pets that shed more than twice a year do so because their foods lack the nutrients necessary to keep their skin and coats healthy. I don't care if you cook your pets' food or buy my products, but find the wisdom to love your pets, People are very concerned about their own diets, so it only makes sense to me to have the same for our pets, It has been proven that most pet health problems are linked to mass-marketed pet foods. Do you still want to buy store bought pet food. Please for the sake of your pets health and your peace of mind go to my website and at least if nothing else see for yourself there is a better way than store bought pet food. Thanks http://www.healthypetnet.com/rainbowsales07

what a company

This is a great company. They care about their Distributors and they care even more about your pets,the products this company makes is so far beyond anything I have fed my dogs in the past. If you walk into a pet store and see the empty shelves where recalled product has been removed be honest would you trust that company and their products again, I would NOT under any circumstances purchase a product that was inferior or recalled.

did you know

Did you know that genetically a dog can live to the age of 25 but most die by around 13 years old because they don't get proper nutrition and the stress of the undigestable food on the kidneys is partially to blame. I will never feed my dog any food from any of the dog food that can be purchased from a pet store not just because of the recalls but because of the ingredients they use. If they don't check the ingredients coming in from foreign countries how can you trust them? You owe it to your pet and to yourself to check out my website http://www.trilogyonline.com/rainbowsales07 .

corn wheat soy
