Menu Foods
Pet owners all over America are launching law suits against Canadian pet food company Menu Foods.
It has been reported that hundreds, or even thousands of pets, have suffered from kidney failure after consuming Menu Food’s “cuts and gravy” style in cans and pouches. This has led to deaths of beloved pets that angered and outraged many owners.
On 16 March 2007, the FDA has announced an official recall of the product. On 30 March 2007, they released a statement saying that the root of this severe poisoning of pets is melamine in the wheat-gluten used to thicken the gravy. Melamine is a chemical used to manufacture plastics. Pet products of another company, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, has also been affected.
The symptoms usually take effect about two days after eating — look out for lethargy, vomiting and loss of appetite.
