Pet food Recall

I found this piece of distressing news at MSNBC:

WASHINGTON - A massive pet food recall has touched a nerve with pet-loving Americans, many of whom see their pets as family members.

The recalled products — 60 million cans and pouches of wet dog and cat food manufactured by Menu Foods of Ontario, Canada — account for 1 percent of pet food sold in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has said. But in a country where more than half the people in a 2004 survey said they would risk their lives for their pets, the thought that food could kill their animals sent fearful consumers scrambling for information about affected products.

You can read the rest of the report here. Am a bit worried about what I feed my little Buffdog. Will see what else I can find and posts updates.

Update: I found a website where you can find a list of recalled products: Recalled Dog Product Information. Looks like it only covers wet foods for dogs and cats.
