Toxic chemicals and poisons are used in plants around the world, including the US, to flavor foods. It is widespread and known by the FDA. As long as the toxin level is below a certain guideline, it is considered harmless. Overall effects of these toxins, in my opinion, are harmful at any levels over time.

Sorry I disagree with you here. The companies that import food products are the ones who should be inspecting what they buy. The FDA should set the limits for what can be in food. And should do some testing/ inspection to make sure importers are doing it. For instance canned Tuna may only have so many moth parts per pound. Don't be too squeemish here, all food has some stuff you don't want to know about.

I agree with you. We make too many erroneous assumptions about what our FDA is doing to 'keep us safe'. I think the percentage of imported food items that are inspected should be MUCH higher than 2%. They would say they are understaffed for more inspections, most likely. I wish I knew how to change it.

At the time this product was imported in the cat/dog food ,it was never listed as a food item. FDA. needs to rethink themselves.

Yes...logical progression....Republican's fault, revoulution, nuclear winter, all because of some bad food. The U.S. has the safest food checks in the world. Incidences of food borne killers are far more prevalent in Africa, Asia, etc. Anyway, I thought this was a food site, not a wacky commie Q & A.

of direction! positioned up a secure practices digital camera and don't enable your animals out of the backyard. additionally, with reference to the canine poop, he's probable mendacity. Dried canine poo does not have a scent till your backyard is like crammed with it (actually, like, to the precise of the fence). And with reference to the barking, they might basically grab the canines if that's 10 minutes or greater of NONSTOP, persistent barking or yelping. i comprehend it isn't the superb thank you to deal with this, yet in my opinion i might p.c.. up each and every of the canine poop, and throw it over HIS fence each time he poisoned an animal. do no longer try this- I basically stated that through fact with me being tremendously immature; i might have accomplished it :D. basically positioned up a digital camera, and supervise your canines in any respect time. additionally instruct them to 'depart it' (and make confident they're obedient) so if he does do it at the same time as they're obtainable, you may tell them to depart it and that they might desire to hearken to. tell him you have a digital camera now, and there'll be terrible consequences if he poisons one greater of you animals.
