| Reply from Evanger's I e-mailed Evanger's immediately, and this is the reply I just received. Sheila Dear Sheila, Thank you for contacting me in regard to the FDA release. Unfortunately, the FDA press release contains numerous omissions and inaccuracies. I am attaching a press release of our own that we issued today clarifying the true facts. With regard to your question, botulism has never been found in our food. When we saw the press release, we contacted the FDA. We were informed that the statement in the FDA press release is part of their boilerplate that they use to explain why they monitor the canning process when they issue any press release relating to the canning industry. In my mind, it should be better worded, since it definitely implies that botulism was found, whether it was actually present at whichever plant they are referring to at the time or not. In our case, as I said, it was NOT found. One thing that you can be absolutely sure of is that the food that you have been feeding your Yorkies is sterile. We would not dream of taking chances with our customers’ friends – or any of our own or our employees pets, all of whom eat Evanger’s food on a daily basis. I hope that this adequately addresses your concern, and that you will continue to feel confident in using our food. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. Sincerely, Cynthia Office Manager Evanger's Dog & Cat Food Co., Inc. Phone: (847) 537-0102 Fax: (847) 537-0179 cynthia@evangersdogfood.com |
