Subject: [boxer lovers] Pet Food and China -- More Cause for Concern
Yep. More problems. Folks, the way to get this kind of thing to stop is
if we CAREFULLY check all products we buy for consumption, either by us,
our children or our pets, is to see where they are manufactured. You
have to be very careful. Some packages will say things like "A USA
company." Yeah, the COMPANY is located in the USA but the PRODUCT comes
from China. Or it will say something similar to "assembled in the USA"
-- same thing, all the parts were put together in the USA -- but the
parts came from China. When I'm buying something, if I can't find the
clear marking of where it was made, I'll ask the store management. If
they can't PROVE (not just say, by golly PROVE IT TO ME!!!) it wasn't
made in China, I won't buy it. I carry a cell phone with me. Almost
every package has a contact number. I'll call and ask. If I don't get a
clear "Oh our <whatever> is made at our plant in <American City -- or at
least not China>, not only will I not buy it. I MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE
STORE WHERE I'M SHOPPING WHY I WILL NOT BUY THAT PRODUCT. Hopefully, if
enough of us make it clear WE NO LONGER WILL BUY THOSE PRODUCTS, the
stores will find sources from places that aren't oblivious to the health
and safety of our families. And there are USA companies making the same
products. You know those chicken treats that will killing dogs? Blue
Buffalo makes some. Does it cost a bit more? Yes, but that's less
expensive on your pocket book -- and your heart! -- than having your
precious babies get sick from poisonous foods.

Here's the start of the article:
Recently the Taipei City Government ordered four brands of pet food
removed from store shelves due to false labeling.
The pet food companies involved were charged with violating China's
Commodity Labeling Act
<http://gcis.nat.gov.tw/elaw/query/LawListE.jsp?LAW_CO=0890426030>.
Out of 140 pet foods tested by Taipei city officials, four were found to
contain not even a trace of beef, despite label claims and misleading
product names.
The four formulas:
* Belicom's tuna and beef cat food
* Dobi's beef, chicken and potato dog food
* Ever Red's beef dog food
* Maxwell's beef dog food
I guess we can assume tuna as an animal protein source was found in the
Belicom product and chicken was found in the Dobi product.
But we can also assume the Ever Red and Maxwell products contained no
animal protein source at all.
