Has anyone noticed that almost all of these contaminated and recalled
human and pet foods in recent years is ALWAYS the stuff sold at
Walmart.  Just one of several reasons I will not buy any foods from
Walmart anymore.

The following are sold at Walmart
* Pedigree
* Ol' Roy
* PetPride
* Special Kitty
(possibly more)

 

In article letterman@invalid.com says...

Pedigree is sold at more stores than Wal Mart.  I'm not sure about the
others.  My dogs only get the 40lb bags of Pedigree small chunks dry
food.  I did check one of the new bags I bought a few weeks ago but
haven't yet opened and it had a use by date of 09/2009.  Consumerists
say the Pedigree bags in question have a use by date of 02/2009.  Since
February 2009 is only a few months away (imagine that) most likely all
the recalled bags have already been eaten.  I have a dry food bin so I
throw out the bag once the old food is gone and the new food goes into
the bin but it is very possible that my last bag was use by 02/2009 or
the bag before that.  So far my dogs haven't gotten sick.

Perhaps Wal Mart sells old bags of pet food -- I don't know.  I refuse
to shop at a store who has done much, including lobbying Washington, to
sell out America to the Chinese for a few pieces of silver.

ObFrugalLiving:  I don't actually throw out the old bag, I use it as a
garbage bag.  These bags have a thick plastic liner that make for a
fantastic garbage bag since nothing ever leaks out of them.

And a dog would be better off eating cardboard than Ol' Roy.
