New Pet Foods Added to Recall

It seems almost impossible to think that there could be any more pet foods added to the recall, but as of today, many new foods and treats from several companies are being recalled because they contain rice protein concentrate tainted with melamine.

American Nutrition, Inc. in Odgen, Utah, manufactures foods for several companies, none under their own label. Today, at the request of the FDA, they issued a recall of all pet foods that contain rice protein concentrate tainted with melamine.

Accusations of Product Tampering
Some of the companies, such as Natural Balance, Diamond Pet Foods and Blue Buffalo are saying that they did not have knowledge of, or give consent to, the rice protein concentrate being added to their foods. This incident is being called "product tampering", and more lawsuits have been filed in this recall investigation.
