I spoke with my sister, who manages a lab for one of the major food manufacturers. She said that most of what is on the list right now is carry over from the melamine (product from China) recall.

On the good side... Some of the company's received the Chinese corn through a US supplier who did not disclose that the product was not from the US. That company is now out of business.

We shouldn't be feeding our dogs food with 'Fillers" in them. Corn is onlyl a filler and has no nutritional benefit. It has also been linked in some studies to certian types of cancer in dogs. Be careful what you are feeding you precious family member.

Quote from Canidae.com:
All CANIDAE Pet Food products are safe and not part of the recall.
In light of the unfortunate pet food recall by other respectable pet food manufacturers, we want you, our valued customer, to feel secure with the continued use of our products. CANIDAE® Pet Foods in no way was, or is affected by the recall, nor are any of our products produced in any of the recalled production facilities.

It appears from the latest news within our industry that all recalls were from protein concentrates imported from China. CANIDAE does not use any protein concentrates, or grain fractions and we do not import any ingredients from China or overseas.

CANIDAE Pet Foods continues its commitment in providing your pets with the most nutritious, palatable products on the market, and will continue the use of all US ingredients.

Even with these facts in mind, we still tested and will continue to test all incoming ingredients prior to their inclusion into our products. We understand and appreciate your concerns and value your pet's health as well as your business.

All of our products are made the “CANIDAE Way” with superior quality in every bag and can with NO corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, by-products or fillers – and naturally preserved!

Our heartfelt concerns go out to all those who were affected by the recall.
