I continue to follow every lead I can, watching the link between "pet food poisoning" and how it is now progressing into inspection of hogs (the first wave of human consumption to hit the press). The hogs are testing positive for the melamine.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268181,00.html)
In this story, it states: "Investigators have found melamine in at least two imported Chinese vegetable proteins used to make pet foods."
How can we be sure that the high protein in fish pellets does not contain melamine? (The Chinese are privately being accused of illegally "spiking" their products with the melamine to cause testing to produce higher protein levels that do not exist.)
I'm not an alarmist, but the fact is, 'buyers' for the big U.S. companies are shopping over-seas for the best deal on "ingredients" and the bummer is, they don't have to list the facts of where those ingredients come from. Those of us that feed Aquamax should be very concerned as Purina IS on the list of "pet foods" recalled. One of the main things we shop for in fish food is what? Percentage of PROTEIN. I smell a rat on this and I can only hope that I am not right.
If anyone has any information, or can get any information confirming or denying these concerns, please post it ASAP. I will do the same.
