Pet Food Recall Update: ASPCA Issues Urgent Advisory As Pet Food Recall Widens
Contaminant Found In New Protein Supplement—Not Just Wheat Gluten—for Pet Food
Urges Pet Parents to Stay Alert and Aware to New Developments in the Recall
The ASPCA today urgently reminded pet parents that the pet food recall crisis, which started almost five weeks ago, is far from over—and, as such, pet parents need to stay alert to new developments as well as the health of their pets.
“Until the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conclusively identified all the contaminants in the affected pet food, where they came from, and which products they were used in, we cannot consider this crisis over,” said Dr. Steven Hansen, a board-certified toxicologist and senior vice president with the ASPCA, who manages the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), located in its Midwest Office in Urbana, Ill.
“Further, the actual link between the adverse effects of melamine and the illnesses or deaths of so many pets around the country is still not clear and, as a result, what exactly is sickening and killing our pets is still a mystery,” said Dr. Hansen.

The only good thing that could
possibly result from the deaths of
so many dear pets, would be that so many dear, lonely, loving animals at our pet shelters may be adopted out to the parents whom have had a loss! That is my stand,
and I only hope and pray that this
truely becomes the situation!
