Toxic Levels of Vitamin D found in Nutro Cat Food
- 5-4-2010
- Categorized in: Pet Food News
Don Earl of Pet Food Products Safety Alliance notified
me this evening regarding some lab test results his (tremendous)
organization received today (May 4, 2010). The lab results found toxic
levels of Vitamin D; over 1,000 times recommended by the National
Research Council.
“Test results are back on a sample of what
is believed to be Nutro Chicken Meal and Rice cat food Lot # 09 01 10
11:03. This is from the same batch of food we tested below on the March
22, 2010 results. The pet owner's cat nearly died after eating the food
for 5 days and the symptoms appeared to be consistent with toxic levels
of Vitamin D.” Click

Don Earl reported this issue
to the FDA hours after receiving the test results; no one (as of this
writing) from the FDA has returned his call.

has over 500 consumer complaints in the last two years regarding Nutro
Pet Foods. Journalist Lisa McCormick confirmed with the FDA that Nutro
Pet Food was under investigation (by the FDA) yet no recall has been
issued. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/04/nutro_foia.html
How many pets have to die? How many pets have to
become ill before the FDA takes action? The FDA itself has hundreds of
reports of sick pets all linked to this pet food company...why has
nothing been done to stop the deaths and illnesses?
If you or anyone you know feeds a Nutro Pet Food (dog or cat food) please be very cautious. Please share this pet food warning with other pet owners.
