I was wrong to suggest pig ears as chews. I did not think they were fatty, but they are. I also said that freezing kills bacteria. I admit I am still confused about this, because my understanding is that raw feeders will freeze food for several months to make it safe, but it appears that bacteria, including salmonella, do not die when frozen. |
This is the exact reason that this thread needs to be kept on track. People will try to speak as expert but their information many times will be incorrect and at times even dangerous. Things that have been stated as fact previously and are incorrect will forever be in written word and could be taken as accurate. Furthermore, it will then be passed on by others as fact.
With a simple search on food safety you can find ACCURATE information by a regulated source and not second, third, one hundredth relayed "sources".
Safe Food Handling Fact Sheets
Finally, don't get me started on raw feeders who live by their own made up set of food safety rules. So of the things that I have read that they suggest make me sick to even think about let alone do.
