On March 16, 2007, Menu Foods Income Fund announced the recall
of a portion of the cat and dog food it manufactured between December 3, 2006
and March 3, 2007. Since the original recall date, other pet food products have
been recalled including dry pet foods. The recall was prompted by the discovery
of wheat gluten found in the food, and the FDA is now reporting that melamine
has been found in the wheat gluten, in the recalled pet food, and in the urine
and kidney from a cat that died in the initial food trial conducted by Menu
Foods. Melamine is used in fertilizers in Asia, the production of plastic
kitchenware, and in Magic Eraser cleaning sponges. This product should never be
found in pet food.
