What is the matter with pet feed mfgrs that they cannot get this vit D thing right?
I understand that adulterated additive product can be imported, but there couldn’t be any mfgr testing on finished product or the products wouldn’t be getting past the mfgrs door; we can hope. If it is a labor problem, as we encounter sloppy and careless work everywhere now, then start firing people’s backsides so they will learn!
I understand that problems and accidents usually happen due to a string of circumstances, but it is happening too often lately for mfgrs to not be ready and armed against these problems.

The FDA requires ingredient safety compliance for imported materials. The last time(s) this happened the FDA fined Sunshine Mills and Hills (“science diet” yeah right). What about fining the business(s) in China where these bad vitamin mixes likely came from? Who is supposed to regulate the FDA? Congress. Let’s get Congress working for us instead of big business. The senator for my home area believes pets are property and not family members. He has been in office a very long time. People just keep voting for him because they vote along party lines. Everyone: do your homework before you vote! Our pets are counting on us.
