I saw this on another site and am shocked.... I guess I shouldn't be. I guess it just shows that every dog food company can't really be totally trusted and mistakes will happen.
But I thought it should be made aware as I am such a supporter of Champion Pet Foods but am saddened to read this...
1st recall 2003 - manufacturing petfood from a cow who was infected with BSE, ‘Mad Cow Disease’.
Nibbles and bits of cats, dogs, and sick cows
2nd recall 2008 - large bone shards from salmon were found in Orijen dry pet food.
Orijen Concern - Golden Retrievers : Golden Retriever Dog Forums
3rd recall 2008 - Irradiating pet food which killed over 30 cat & affected over 100 & blamed gov despite signing the documents to irradiate. We did go over this, even though it was put to bed too easily. Blaming the Government, when Champion signed off on irradiating the foods.
4th recall 2011- SALMONELLA- affecting Acana Grasslands; Dog Food with Free-range; Lamb; Wild caught Fish - Walleye; Free run Duck and Whole Eggs.

I guess salmonella isn't a big deal since dogs can handle that.
