over tolerance for permanent drug residues. it's incredible. the law says that can be but the compliance policy says don't. go ahead. and force. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average guy in 2006 the mystery illness began to sicken thousands of pets across the united states and canada thrusting the industry into the spotlight like never before. ok everyone is so forget about this recall tell us what do people need to know about this recall so it's menu food menu menu foods menu foods and any food on march 16th 2007 many foods began recalling dog foods produced in their facilities in kansas and new jersey what disturbs me about this incident is that it confirms yet again the pet food as well as human food is a risk more than 60000000 packages were taken off store shelves last month because

they apparently contained wheat gluten that was tainted with the chemical melamine veterinarian offices are getting flooded with phone calls from concerned that oh to the people on the other end of the phone sound worried yes very wary yes no official estimates on exactly how many have died so far but hundreds of pets have suffered my strong belief is that they were intentionally delaying the recall happened because they thought they were purchasing a certain protein product called wheat gluten that has actually a pretty high protein count when in fact they were buying wheat flour that had been laced with sign your it acid and melamine in order to pass it off as weak with the way they test protein sources is to do this to touch at the level of hydrogen in it and both sign erik acid and melamine have high levels of hydrogen so they just would inject the wheat flour with this these poisons and then pass it off as weak luden and the reason they were doing that is that. gluten costs

a lot more per protein count per ton then. that's 100 have you gotten sick or died from eating the food made by menu foods that company make dog and cat in under 90 brand name in 2007 pet owners didn't have any idea that one manufacturer menu made hundreds of different varieties of food that was a betrayal of trust just so many pet owners this is leading people to wonder at this point what can we safely feed our pets arena tonight is recalling a batch of its purina one dog food member typically i was sitting in my little office i got a call out of the blue from a woman named don. who told me that she wanted to bring a lawsuit against the entire pet food industry they knew they had contaminated food they knew it was poison they knew it killed animals and they continued to or sell

it and put it on the market and used don't do that but it's a it's a money market they were making money and i wanted it stopped c.b.s. news has learned a tainted wheat gluten used in pet food was human grave meaning nothing but love kept it from being used in the food people eat to the moshav king aspect discovered in 2 sub committee hearings was that the ingredient used in the pet foods there was responsible for killing the animals was actually legal to use in human foods on top of that the f.d.a. admitted that there was no penalty given to a company if they failed to notify the f.d.a. in a reasonable amount of time. in this case menu foods faced criticism for failing to notify the f.d.a. for over 3 weeks even after they confirm dogs and cats were dying and they knew the call but other than complain about the ethics no one in a government position could find many foods for allowing the food to continue to be

sold even though they knew animals would die as a result but many foods would not testify in the lobby group that came in its place was left to explain why many of the cosmetic know there has to make an animal think on february 20th they didn't tell the f.d.a. 3 weeks earlier that it let's get the record straight now the menu waited more than 3 weeks after finding out that the dogs wouldn't eat their food and were getting sick they waited 3 weeks i don't have the facts on menu senator i don't i think you read or you came to the hearing you would have the facts on the industry side they were still maintaining that they were highly regulated though the evidence exposed by the recall appeared to confirm the fear that the industry wasn't regulated very much pet foods are indeed a highly regulated product they are perhaps the most regulated product in the supermarket shop. mr nelson was very clear in his statement that africa has no regulatory authority and we've been told by the f.d.a.

that there is no pre-market approval of this product sold to consumers we know that there's no regular inspection of the facilities that make these products what we are told is that 30 percent of these facilities will be inspected once or twice over a 3 and a half year period we know that there is no government authority to recall a contaminated product we know that there was no mandatory state inspection standards established by the food and drug administration cross the united states we know that the claims being made on the label here about this dog food or beyond the claims that could be made about human food. and we are told at least dr hudgins has told us that it's questionable as to whether or not a company that makes a contaminated pet food has to report to anyone about adverse events in a timely fashion whether a dog has died or dogs are dying when i go through that long list of things it's

hard to conclude this is a highly regulated product we're starting recalls grabbing chicken jerky that's killing thousands of patents we can't identify the source of that contaminate that's still killing pat that's scary after the 2007 recall another mysterious illness began to play in dogs all across the country it was soon discovered that consumers who purchased various brands of chicken jerky treats to reward their dogs were actually poisoning their pets instead owners were devastated to find their dogs either sick or dead after consuming these so-called treats. and my wife was looking at the tree aisle there as she saw. judy chicken treats then she's like well why don't we just want to try these this is the only day i see is just a chicken so i almost overnight we noticed a tumor on her called. her to there that any tell me that the it was

a chemical preservative in the past food was more than likely this was bunk cancer and this chemical preservative in the food was more than likely the cause of the cancer and i know my brain couldn't wrap my head around that how could a food that i trusted in this was the leading food in the united states at the time how could a food cause cancer and kill my dog and he said it was to extend the shelf i pulled back then i barely knew what shelf life was but i called this pet food manufacturer just. confirmed because there was growing doubting my own vet and asked them what the shelf life was in this particular dog food and what they told me literally changed my life and their exact words which are seared into my brain or the shelf life that had to go and stay fresh for 25 years there

was that many chemicals in the food that the food would stay fresh for more than 3 times longer than my dog left when you have a dog our cat that pet food kills. your own pet and new poor and that food in their ball so you feel really responsible it is life altering this is an interesting quandary for the dry food industry because there if you want 2 things they'd either have to come up with more information to be able to bash the raw food industry or the 2nd option is they have to listen to what clients are asking for which means really educated clients or are going to the veterinarian saying i want to see meat 1st and only will i don't want to see extra carbohydrates i want to see no additional fillers preservatives or unnecessary ingredients on the label so some of these pet foods have wisely decided to join the bandwagon this

wild ancestors of your dog using the same brush marketing style that the major pet food companies established one company would soon challenge the industry's obsessed abusive and stance on grain feed your dogs will spirit with blue wilderness in their commercials blue buffalo took a bold step questioning ingredient i compare the ingredients and lots of them corn gluten meal to show exactly that is this style of marketing work and agreed quickly catapulting blue buffalo into a 1000000000 dollar brand lou life protection foods are made with the finest natural ingredients and start with real meat as they say you know you've made it when you're parodied on saturday night live round a yellow corn chicken byproduct me. the thing that gets to me is like what kind of person thinks it's ok to put a big drawing of a chicken on the front of the bag and get there's no chicken or you're already got this can we make you like you have sex so i. want to get. the one company wasn't seeing the arena and warm buffalo are locked in

a nasty battle and it's all about what's inside those bags of dog and cat food. some people try to tell you that your dog is a carnival and requires only a diet of meat they may tell you your dog is lucky but even a little style is built on more than just meat blue buffalo claims its head food is free of chicken and poultry by products this suit alleges testing at an independent lab found significant percentages of poultry by product meal and blue buffalo's top selling life protection products appearing assume blue buffalo for fulton advertising eventually leading to a class action lawsuit purina launched a website called pet food honesty. the irony of the entire lawsuit however was period his own lack of transparency when it came to their own products they refused to answer questions on camera about the quality or source of their own

ingredients. since you guys are suing we buffalo for like transparency and green and i just wanted to get you guys an opportunity to talk to this gentleman the consumers about the transparency of your own ability and. i will after so long after purina failed to respond to our request we tried again. to have a idea of a day when 3 card support for it on. well i will not be responding so i am not sure it's it's kind of up to. you know when he would risk this lawyer has had the information period no would not defend their own alleged lack of true transparency we reached out to blue buffalo as well who also refused to go on camera if this really was about transparency and honesty why was no one talking about the market for premium for is growing that fast as a poor pet parents seeking interest and natural food for their dogs and with american part owners expected to spend nearly 2 to 3000000 dollars this year on

food for these treasured members of the sam lee the stakes are high the american holistic veterinarian medical says the annual conference we have all these great food suppliers that and they are not only discussing the products that exchanging ideas everyone's very open veterinarians are capable of going from book to bill to get an idea what the products are about how their manufactured ingredient list the owners of these small pet food companies are are passionate and wildly passionate about the products they're producing and they're eager to speak with you and they want you to know more and they want us questions. most companies that attended the trade show were happy to speak with our cameras around to show off their products and transparency. but when we revisited the science diet booth with our questions about the species appropriateness of their products in the sourcing of their diets we were refused interviews in instructed to contact their media apartment team so we did. a review but it also had an attrition i just wanted to write you

know that decided not to participate in the documentary all other major pet food brands also flat out refused or ignored multiple requests to participate in this town. hall. for the world independent pet stores are now offering a solution to the growing population of concerned pet owners. for almost their entire existence major pet food stores only carry dry or canned food while independent stores are adequately addressed in the concerns of their customers by selling wrong d. hydrated or alternative diets the industry has felt the threat of the independent pet stores popping up across the nation in reaction they've launched their own chain of smaller stores with the appearance that what they're offering is healthier . so many well intentioned customers are still left wondering what is the right

thing to do. in the end it isn't about perfect it's just about knowing i just happen to see. increased health when you really can feed a biologically appropriate diet lee shouldn't to stray so far from it in the 1st place we have going to have to get that there eventually i'd like to see that i believe is that guardians our job is to feed the best possible food that we can afford to feed and many people cannot afford to feed that or all the foods so even within your dry food choices there are better quality dry food choices and there are terrible quality food choices and it's your job as a pet guardian to be able to know enough about nutrition to make wise health decisions for your pot with profits as their main goal the cycle will continue on and on again and again and when no end in sight. i heard. i.
