RECALL PET FOOD HAS REACHED EUROPE ALREADY!!
One thing that I didn't think about until today, is the fact that we
happen to have quite a few USAF sites around here, as well as logistics support sites and troops barracks too. On all of the bases they have a shop of some description (Commissaries?) where they sell all of the foods that have mentioned in all of the lists that you have all been posting on here too, so I guess without even thinking about it, of course it affects us in Europe too.!! I don't want to get drawn into the ethics of this, but I know of quite a few families that ask USAF personnel to purchase dog and cat foods for them @ a very reduced cost compared to our prices, so they are getting a damned good deal for their money, & the UK purchaser's are giving them incentives to buy this food for them... so it's an all win situation for the people concerned....until they get caught!! (The personnel shouldn't buy it for others, but it is a fact of life that people do break rules for whatever incentives are offered) I happen to work part time occasionally on one of the bases & I asked several of the purchasers if they knew that some of the food that they were buying was on a recall list in the USA, & not a single one of them had any idea that they were on the recall list. This makes me wonder just how far this food has traveled into Europe and where to, too. It also begs the question, will we ever find out exactly how many deaths have occurred due to tainted food? Or how widespread the problem is in reality..??! I think we should be told far more than we have been, & to my knowledge there has not been a single reference to it in our newspapers or T.V either. It's a terrible situation & a complete shambles...No one seems to know anything.. the personnelle don't seem to have any idea of the the recall lists, & the Brits who are buying this contraband haven't got a clue about this either.. Not one single person I asked about this today, knew a thing about any of it...Shame on us for not asking more questions about it & demanding answers too!! Sheelagh |

There was a news report a couple of weeks ago that a pet-food company in South Africa had found that a batch of corn gluten (maize gluten), purchased from China, was contaminated with melamine. No such contaminated corn gluten has been found thus far in the USA. So, the USA wasn't the only country that adulterated products were sold to. -- John F.
