Any food or supplements can be contaminated (including human food).
Could you talk to a nutritionist about homecooking?

Canidae has had no recalls and Wellness hasn't either but the Wellness canned is made at Menu, so I wouldn't use the canned perconally.

I know that lawsuit is scary but really all dog food companies could potentially be sued. The problem is they say their food is human grade but that can be misrepresentation because there is NO SUCH THING. Food is either "fit for human consumption" or "unfit for human consumption". Unless I saw the words "fit for human consumption" on a bag on dog food, I wouldn't consider it safe for humans. It is all in marketing, so it is important to ask the company specific questions. Most, if not all, dog food meat is left over. Just because it is a premium brand doesn't mean that the meat isn't diseased. This is ONE of the reasons why so many companies are getting sued, I believe.

They are just misrepresenting themselves in different ways to make the product look better.
