More pet food recalled after 2nd tainted ingredient found

February 2nd, 2008 Posted in Reptile Pets

That is expanding the recall further. The Food and Drug Administration says melamine is believed to have contaminated rice protein concentrate used to make a variety of Natural Balance Pet Foods products for both dogs and cats. The chemical was earlier found to taint another ingredient, wheat gluten, used by at least six other pet food and treat manufacturers. Natural Balance says it is recalling all its Venison and Brown Rice canned and bagged dog foods, its Venison and Brown Rice dog treats and its Venison and Green Pea dry cat food. The California-based company said recent lab tests showed the products contained melamine. (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
