Due to all the continuing recalls on dog and cat foods I decide to head to the FDA's site and look to see all the brands to stay away from and man is it long! And it is no longer just cats and dogs being affected. The recall now reaches into the ferret and fish foods as well.

Will we ever be able to trust these brands ever again? [and it is a huge list mind you taken directly from the FDA's site on pet food recalls]

Download the complete list of pet food recalls from the FDA. It can be very overwhelming when you look at all the brands and types on one spreadsheet.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting consumers that Mars Petcare US, Inc. has recalled two dry dog food products because of the potential contamination with Salmonella Schwarzengrund.

The Mars Petcare US, based in Franklin, Tenn. is voluntarily recalling five-pound bags of Krasdale Gravy dry dog food sold in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and 50-pound bags of Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry food sold in Pennsylvania.

The FDA conducted tests on 10 samples, representing seven product brands from the company. Each sample (same size and brand of product) consisted of 15 subsamples, for a total of 150 subsamples. Tests of the 150 subsamples revealed two positive samples; one from the Krasdale Gravy dry food and another from Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry food.

Salmonella can potentially be transferred to people handling pet food, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to the product. To date, there have been 64 cases of illness in humans related to Salmonella Schwarzengrund reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); however, none of the reported cases have been directly linked to the recalled product that was tested. The FDA is working with local and state officials, and with officials at the CDC in the investigation.

Here is identification information on the recalled products:

Product: Krasdale Gravy dry dog food
Size: Five-pound bag
UPC Code: 7513062596
Best By Date: July 16, 2008 & July 17, 2008
Best By Date Location: Back of bag
Distribution: Stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania

Product: Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry dog food
Size: 50-pound bag
UPC Code: 4286900062
Best By Date: July 12, 2008
Best By Date Location: Back of bag
Distribution: Stores in Reedsland and Richlandtown, Pa.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Well animals can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

Consumers with questions about the recalled product should call Mars Petcare US, Inc. at 866-298-8332.

Wal-Mart has quietly removed two brands of Chinese imported dog treats.

Gone from Wal-Mart store shelves...two more pet products imported from China. Chicken Jerky Strips, from Import-Pingyang Pet Products Company, and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading.

Philadelphia TV station WPVI reported a woman's chihuahua died after eating a dog treat purchased there.

wal-mart has been pulling the products from its shelves and blocked its cash registers from ringing them up.

In a statement to CNN, Wal-Mart said, "we will continue to work with the supplier to assure that the highest standards are met. More importantly, our thoughts are with anyone whose pet may have become ill after consuming this product."

The news from Wal-Mart comes just as toy maker Mattel faces another lawsuit stemming from its huge recall of Chinese-made toys.

Jeffrey Killino, Woloshin & Killino, "Mattel said that they have this phenomenal quality control system, well then, how did 20 million recalled toys make it into children's hands? These toys, that are on their way to the US, right now for the Christmas season, have undergone the very same quality control of those that are recalled."

Killino's firm filed a class action suit in Los Angeles Superior Court, demanding Mattel pay for the lead testing of the millions of children who may have been exposed to toxic paint.

Mattel declined to comment to CNN because of the pending litigation.

This weekend, Toys 'R Us began pulling from its shelves, all vinyl baby bibs, after two, from the Chinese company Hamco, tested positive for lead.

The Chinese government has consistently said the vast majority of its products are safe. The Toy Industry Association says the toys on shelves are not dangerous, and the number of recalls shows, the system to safeguard consumers is working.

Menu Foods has previously recalled wet cat and dog food produced with adulterated wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. Menu Foods is now expanding the recall to include cuts and gravy and select other products which do not include ChemNutra wheat gluten but which were manufactured at any of Menu Foods’ plants during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used at that plant, to the extent they have not already been subject to a recall, due to the possibility of cross-contamination. Menu Foods has received a report from a customer and has received study results, both of which indicate cross-contamination.

As a result, Menu advises the public:

Additional items in the United States and Canada have been added to the recall list as shown below. A further two varieties for Europe have been added to the recall list.

The recall dates of those products previously recalled have been modified to include all dates during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used in the applicable Menu plant. All of these products, including the expanded dates, have previously been withdrawn from the market and should already be off the retailer shelves.

Menu estimates that this additional recall represents less than 5% of the products that have already been recalled or withdrawn.

An updated list of the recalled products, including this addition, is available at the Menu Foods website at http://www.menufoods.com.
