More Food problems - chicken

Hate t keep going back to this and don't want t cause a panic but there was a news conference at 4pm EST and it was confirmed that ver 3 million chickens ate the contaminated feed and it did make it t the human food supply. They claim it was in Feb and there is no threat to humans but they are still investigating. I persnally had a terrible "virus" in February as did my entire work building..."Virus"? Ha, probably food poisoning...

My concern is...many of us are cooking for our pets and using of all things...chicken! So, I just caution anyone whose dog looks or acts differently, even without the so called symptoms, go get checked at the Vet. I don't think any of this should be taken lightly...They are questioning baby foods as well....So why isn't all this on the news is my question :twisted: Isn't a contamination of the human food supply important enough to make news?

The conference was transcribed live on www.petconnection.com

Thank you for bringing this up. Not only are our pets' health in danger, but so is our own.

It takes being hit over the head before people wake up and realize how vulnerable they really are. Don't expect our government, any government, to fully protect the people. There isn't a government large enough, powerful enough or funded enough to check everything all the time. What we can demand is more frequent testing and a procedure to immediately stop suspected shipments both internally produced as well as imports.

Don't expect China to be real cooperative........it's not in their nature.

It will be in their nature when we threaten to halt all imports (and exports) of food to and from them, dammit.
The problem isn't all with China...Our greedy american manufacturers saw an easy way to add profit to their own pockets...what the heck are they eating?

Accrding to the reports, China was not willing to let the US inspect their facilities at first but nw they are...I guess they wanted to buy some time to "clean up"... My biggest problem is...where the heck was the FDA for the last 15 years? What is the point of our tax dollars paying for this agency...and why isn't this being broadcast all ver the news...The media made a bigger deal over who was the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby :x

My other question...I am feeding Wellness Puppy, chicken and rice...first ingredient is "deboned chicken"....is it safe? I've put in a request to Wellness and await their reply...
