| Recall Now on Frozen Raw..... Just got this via email........ April 1, 2013 – BARF World Inc. has today confirmed it is conducting a voluntary recall of three of its raw frozen dog food products due to possible contamination with Salmonella bacteria. The company is recalling the following three products: BARF Lamb Patties BARF Combo Patties BARF Combo Patties (bulk package) All three products share the same “Use By” date of July 27, 2013. I know there are people on here that feed raw....dont know if this is what you may be feeding....these recalls are so regular now, it is almost like, "Oh well, for today, we are pulling......". |

| Recall Thank you for the info. Just a matter of time before we all have a recall! Like Russian Roulette! I have always been wary of RAW as it isn't heated, but I guess they sterilize it somehow? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Frozen premade raw really scares me. Anytime you grind a meat you are putting all the surface bacteria of the meat into the whole of the meat. Constant temperatures are important and if the meat is left to thaw a little and then refreezes, the bacteria could easy reach incredibly high numbers. Think of hamburger vs. a steak, hamburger must be cooked to a certain temperature inside or you can get sick from it, however, it’s still safe to eat steak rare as long as the outside where the bacteria lies is cooked. I’m using these as examples for humans, I understand that dogs can handle bacteria better, but in too high of a number even a dog can’t handle it. Finding a company with high quality control in manufacturing and transporting their food is extremely important. The problem is how do you do that, the newest companies don't have recalls, but that doesn't say that they won't, or that they are any safer.

Not to mention that once you start grinding meat, so many nutrients are destroyed...

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I've never heard that grinding meat destroys nutrients, if that were true, when we ground our meat by chewing, we would be destroying nutrients. There are some nutrients that are lost through cooking, on the other hand, some nutrients are easier to absorb and use if we cook first.

As soon as you slice, cut, etc the food begins to oxidize, meat or otherwise. Chewing your food is hardly comparable to commercially grinding, but technically speaking it is losing nutrients. However, ground meat does have more than cooked, but not as much as large chunks.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I understand that heat can denature proteins, which makes the proteins bond together, but I've never read that this destroys any nutrients, it can make the protein easier to digest. I agree with Barney post on this, although I do like my steaks rare!
