I'm not sure what lab tests would be able to distinguish poultry byproduct meal from regular poultry products in dog food, so it will be interesting to see how Purina did this. On the other hand, it would be easy to test for the presence of corn in the Blue Buffalo life source bits. The question is, was it trace amounts of corn, or a huge percentage of corn? And the life source bits are a small fraction of the food in a bag of Blue Buffalo anyway.
I'm guessing that the Purina dynasty is trying to eliminate its competition by hook or by crook, and they think they found a way to do that. I'll try to keep an open mind and follow this story closely. |
