Company named by FDA claims they bought wheat gluten from elsewhere
oh brother!
Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Company Ltd. was named in a notice issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the source of wheat gluten containing a chemical found in plastics and pesticides.Geng Xiujuan, Xuzhou Anying’s sales manager, said the company was aware of the notice and was looking into the accusation that large concentrations of melamine had been found in its wheat gluten, a protein source used as an ingredient in the pet food.
However, Geng said the company based in the eastern province of Jiangsu had not manufactured the gluten but had instead bought it from companies in neighbouring provinces. She said Xuzhou Anying sold it onward to another Jiangsu company, Suzhou Textile Import and Export Co.
“There are many other exporters and I don’t see why they would just blame us,” Geng said.The rest of the story is here.
What does this mean for the rest of our pet's food supply?
What does this mean for our human food supply?
Does the FDA work for us?
