Rice Protein Recall: Drs. Foster & Smith Adult Dry Lite Dog and Adult Dry Lite Cat Food
From the Foster and Smith web site:
Rice protein concentrate has been indicated as a possible source of melamine recently found in pet food products. As a precautionary measure Wilbur-Ellis company, the supplier of rice protein concentrate, is voluntarily recalling all lots of rice protein concentrate. We received notification from the manufacturer today, April 25, 2007, suggesting we issue a precautionary recall.
Two of our products: Adult Lite Dry Dog (Item #'s 14178, 14179, 14180, 14262, 14263) and Adult Lite Dry Cat foods (Item #'s 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865) contain rice protein concentrate. Only the Adult Lite Dry Dog and Adult Lite Dry Cat foods contain rice protein concentrate.
Preliminary test results for melamine contamination have been negative. Final test results from the FDA are expected within two weeks. Please check the Adult Lite Dry Dog food or the Adult Lite Dry Cat food product pages on the DrsFosterSmith.com website for any updates.
the rest is here:
Everyone is wondering....is this numbmer 5? If it is....why did they only hear about the recall today?

What this says to me, is how widespread our imports are. With as much food as we export - it is sad that we can't produce enough to feed our pet's a higher quality product.

I can not believe how wide spread this is. I am in Oregon, went to school in Maine, and of all places, you think Maine would be safe. it is not only our pets we have to worry about, but what we are feeding our children as well. I wish there was a march tomarrow in portland, i learned about it oo late to jump through the hoops of organizing one! I hope the turn out is huge there!
