Pet food recall--Menu Foods
Wonder if they were using cheaper ingredients to try and get better
financial results? The last two sections of the story on Bloomberg are telling. Menu Foods Income Fund went public by selling units at C$10 each to buy 51 percent of the assets of Menu Foods Ltd. Income trusts avoid paying most taxes because they pay out most of their cash flow to unit holders. The trust suspended payouts in December 2005 to conserve cash after a rise the Canadian dollar reduced the value of U.S. sales and a large customer reduced orders. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...c&refer=canada |

Interesting. Guess they are really going to see reduced customer orders,
now. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

It looks like it is indeed rat poison and you have to wonder why Menu Foods
didn't act on this one sooner? I was at Petsmart today and some people are definately buying other brands not on the recall list whether it's dry or canned food. Though dry food was not affected, you have to wonder when they'll be pulling it from store shelves. That seems to happen eventually. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

However, I wonder how many other manufacturers might have bought supplies of wheat from that Chinese company. Was it sold for any human food? How will we know? -- Cheryl |

Testing more to see if the pets like the taste of the food (as raw materials vary as to what the purchasing dept can get a decent deal on), not so much to test for poisons. And to start investigating when their animals started getting sick and dying. And to recall the bad food before too many (well one is too many) customers' pets out in the field get sick or die.
