Pet Food Recalls - Too Little, Too Late
Most consumers are unaware that the pet food industry is not very well regulated by the government. Although, as a result of more and more pet food recalls and their media attention, consumers are now more likely to realize that there must be a problem with the quality assurance in the manufacturing of these products. For example, the giant pet food manufacturer, Menu Foods, issued pet food recalls for an estimated 60 million pouches and cans that were distributed in the U.S. alone. Some of the pet food companies that purchased Menu Foods products, such as Purina and Hill, voluntarily recalled their products from the market. Pet food recalls, although more prevalent now than in previous years, are not new to the marketplace. The media has not only brought about consumer awareness of the crisis, but more non-profit pet care organizations are scrutinizing the pet food manufacturers. Some industry analysts have reported that there are now thousands of pet food recalls. Many pet owners, as a result of this predicament, are now turning to creating their own pet food to ensure the safety of the health of their beloved pets. Pet owners are finding that it is very difficult to try to keep up with the daily posting of contaminated pet food products. In fact, there are more pet owners today opting to purchase pet health insurance as a result of pet food recalls. PETA Voices its Opinion of the FDA Investigation of Tainted Pet Food In April, 2007, PETA demanded that the head of the FDA resign. It was their belief that FDA was aware of consumer complaints about contaminated pet food, but had failed to warn the general public. Consequently, PETA s president issued a scathing letter to the FDA, accusing the FDA of withholding information and concealing proof that its findings were inaccurate. PETA specifically said that the FDA did not respond to the issue in a timely manner. |
