Another pet food recall

[Trek420]

An interesting tidbit - I just did a little googling to see if my Kirkland Costco dog bikkies were safe. (so far so good) In the process I found out that the bad wheat gluten was "food grade" (suitable for people food) not "feed grade" (not good enough for people, but ok for animals)

Sooooo... that stuff could've been put into people food. Watch what you eat, ladies and gentlemen.

Since Innova pet food is ok and some of this stuff could be in people food, should I eat Innova pet food?

that's a good idea Trek. but just eschew (don't chew) food with wheat germ
or corn glutin or rice protein in it.
Gosh, that's a lot of stuff!

this is making me nuts. Don't eat processed foods, bottom line.
and it makes sense. try to use all whole fresh ingredients for you and your pets.

ugh this whole pet food recall is just so frustrating!

i thought about making food for peanut, but she would have a bigger portion than i would.

maybe we will both go on a rice, beef and beans diet.

I'm going with the Paul Newman's organic dry cat food. No wheat, no "meat by-products" (meaning diseased or dead chickens, among other sordid ingredients of "meat by-products" which are not allowed in human food), and one would hope no pesticides because it's organic chicken and organic vegetables.
It's expensive- locally $10 for a 3.25 lb bag.(!) But that lasts a couple weeks for our 3 cats. Our cats seem to love it, and they are pretty picky.

Someone mentioned baby food earlier, and my cat is loving a mixture of several baby food varieties with things like canned peas, cottage cheese, ground chicken, etc.
