Yes the high heat process used to create the meal, kills bacterium, however, most toxins are the by-products of the bacteria, and these are Not killed with the heat process. Therefore, these toxins are transferred into the pet-grade meal and allowed to be distributed, unbeknownst to the buyer.
Currently the ARS, Agriculture Research Service, is researching technology, a biosensor-based method , which can detect these toxins in human grade foods. No testing on any pet-grade foods are in their agenda as of yet. Hope this helps. |
First of all, there is no such thing as human grade meal, so trying to find a dog food with it would be impossible. One of the reasons we cook things is to kill bacteria, and you are suggesting that toxins are some present after this happens, and that these toxins are dangerous. However, if this were true, it would have a major impact on humans as well, because nearly everything we eat has been cooked.
