What goes into pet food?
Writes Tracie Hotchner, author of The Dog Bible: Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know:
- "Pet Foods...are full of mysterious and possibly dangerous ingredients."
- "The meat by-products in many top brands include animal parts deemed unfit for human consumption, such as poultry beaks and feet, as well as heads, hooves, spinal columns, and intestines of cattle and horses."
- "Some processors use road kill and animals that were sick before they were slaughtered."
The "cuts and gravy" style foods that were the subject of the original Menu Foods recall - it has expanded to cover several brands of dry food - also include soy meal, sweeteners, artificial coloring, and preservatives that have been associated with cancer in humans.
