Yes, it is scarey... and there is a court case involving this matter, but it does have to do with the feline vet food. Royal Canin does not have wheat glutten in it's dry food.

| You can say that again. If you do some further investigation, this scare goes deeper than just dog food......

| If I see or hear anymore recalls.............I am going to throw up I don't watch TV, so when people call me to flick on the news because something else is tainted, my heart just sinks.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I feed all 3 the Sensible Choice natural blend by Royal Canin. It doesn't have any wheat gluten so it should be ok? Are they sure that it is the wheat gluten that is causing all the problems? I made sure nothing I am feeding contains wheat gluten. This is getting scarier and scarier.

Yes, all testing that has been conducted has found that it is the wheat glutten, that has been provided from China. They've also found that it goes deeper than that and have found that may have entered the food for human consumption....scarey, yes.....

| I just went to the Royal Canine website and they say that the products in the USA are not effected. http://www.royalcanin.us/ |

No Longer a Member | It only affects canned prescription cat food made by Royal Canin Canada. Royal Canin USA is not affected. Here's the statement from Royal Canin Canada's website: http://www.royalcanin.ca/index_en.php |
