Answer 3

The fact that Menu Foods could get away with selling pet food that has caused the untimely death of so many of our beloved pets is atrocious. There is already a class action lawsuit underway, but here's your chance to contact the CEO of the Menu Foods yourself. Spread the word!

Paul Henderson
President & CEO
Menu Foods GenPar Limited
8 Falconer Dr.
Mississauga, ON L5M 2C1
Canada
Tel.: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

Here's his HOME ADDRESS and phone number (which will probably be disconnected real soon):

Paul K Henderson
56 Willett Cr
Richmond Hill, ON L4C 7V9
[phone]

This guy deserves all the complaints he can get, and then some, for endangering the lifes of so many of our pets.

Answer 4

Read that the soy used in the production of these foods is what infected them.Just like toxins are present in people food and not known until eaten the same can occur with pet foods. Does not mean that all soy is toxic but just the particula batck that was used in thse foods processed within a 3mos approx period. The Soy,why I do not buy Grocery/discount pet food,is a source of protein and much cheaper than Meat, comes from the soybean.Considering that cats/dogs are Carniverous their nutritional need is Not met with Soy Protein . Buy my foods at Petfood stores-can also happen there but since their foodas contain Meat-stricter requirements to process-cannot be kept in warehouses like soy can.

Answer 5

i agree that we need a law suit, by the way.. i've read that it was the wheat gluten that caused the recall. it is a source of protein i believe, in pet food. really really scary.. my dog has been showing mild symptoms.. excess water consumption and a bit of appetite loss. i believe the "main" company used a different company/source to get their wheat gluten, and that's why it wasn't in it before. SO scary! good luck everyone.

Answer 6

it is in all the so called up there foods eg iams eukanuba hills nutro etc etc all coming from canada look it up on the menu foods page and you will be shocked to see this somebody has to do something to stop these people from ever selling another piece of food and i mean forever WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IMMEDIATELY AND WE MUST STOP THIS COUNTRY FROM IMPORTING OUR PETS FOOD WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE WE THE BIGGEST AND BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAVE COME TO THIS WHY WHY WHY WE MUST STOP IT CALL PETA SPCA ANIMAL RIGHTS WE MUST DO SOMETHING I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LIVING LIKE THIS REMEMBER THE PEANUT BUTTER LETTUCE AND SPINACH HOW CAN WE IGNORE THESE THINGS WAKE UP BEFORE WE ARE ALL DEAD!!!

Not sure...something that affects the kidneys. It was that particular manufacturer that messed up.
