Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Me either but I did hear that chickens were fed some of the tainted food and that they've already been sold in stores....(slaughtered) according to the FDA site the risk is minimal - I want to hear WAY more than THAT .... never mind...I just did a search and HERE you go - this is the only thing I've heard on the news about this ************************************************** ****** Almost 3 million chickens may have eaten feed containing small amounts of pet food contaminated with melamine, but the health risk to consumers is minimal, federal officials said Tuesday. The chickens, most of which were likely slaughtered in March and have already been consumed, were raised at poultry farms in Indiana. They are a tiny fraction of the 9 billion broiler chickens slaughtered every year in the USA, the Agriculture Department said. There may be more, according to the Food and Drug Administration, as the government’s investigation continues into where salvaged pet food contaminated with melamine went after it left pet-food makers. They have recalled products from about 150 brands since mid-March. But David Acheson, FDA assistant commissioner for food protection, said there is little threat to human health because the proportion of melamine in the original pet food was less than 6%, and the re-purposed pet food made up less than 5% of the chicken feed. He also said no one eats only chicken. The FDA has received unconfirmed reports of approximately 1,950 cats and 2,200 dogs dying after eating contaminated pet food. Pets typically eat only one food, day after day, which increases their exposure to toxins in foods, Acheson says. |

| The Chickens Were Coming Into The Us From Other Countries. The Chicken Feed That The Chickens Are Eating Is Tainted With Melamine. The Fda Stated, Is Was Not Enough To Harm Humans. They Probally Don't Know We Cook Meals For Our Yorkies. Also Anyone Interested They Are Also Checking Catfish Coming From China. This Was All Over The News. Gb |

| OK!!! it sure looks like its time to start the garden again!!! But I really dont think my girls would like to just eat veggies all the time. What is gonna happen next??? This is turning out to be a nightmare!! over 4000 dogs and cats lost there lives. That is just SICK! It just proves these companies and our government dont keep the public informed properly about these things, not to mention that they dont have proper inspections... Just makes me ill thinking about it. Ok my venting is over, thanks for listening... |

| I was shocked after reading this article that is wasn't wheat gluten but wheat flour. There is big difference in wheat gluten and wheat flour. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...pid=sec-health

| I've had it with all this I am going to start feeding lamb but then again bet that will make it to the recall faster than I can finish this post. This is getting to be a little too much to handle. I can't believe we are so powerless
