Where’s the Valued Beef?

Where will the pretty much 9 million weight of recalled various meats end up?? Will it become pet food?

In early January the United States Department for Agriculture (USDA) declared a massive beef recognition – almost 9 mil pounds.? The think of was due to the provider – Rancho Feeding Corporation – processing “diseased and unsound animals” without government inspection.? Much of the actual recalled beef have been by-products, so my initial thought was dog food…was any of this kind of recalled beef shipped to pet food manufacturers?

A call to the USDA brought about me to a invaluable young woman that was more than willing to answer this questions.? I was told that after all this, most of their investigation revealed that all the recalled various meats products was looking for human consumption. ? So our next question has been, ‘What will happen to your recalled products? Quit be destroyed or perhaps will they be bought to pet food?’? Your woman was surprised at my own question – especially when We informed her that their man food safety agent FDA, allows thought of foods (expired foods, diseased animals, parrot and rodent excreta polluted foods) to become commercial dog food ingredients.? She said she would investigate and have back to me concerning this recalled beef.

Low and behold…she did!? A new follow up call because of this (wonderful) USDA adviser told me “it would depend” regardless of whether this recalled beef would ultimately find themselves in pet food.? That ‘depend’ – varies according to if the USDA ascertains any diseased pets were processed by Rancho Feeding Corporation.? These are still investigating now.? But the USDA certain me if they find out any diseased pet was processed – probably none of that meat can become pet food ingredients.

And then I shocked this Usda representative again.? I actually told her FDA allows for diseased animals in becoming pet food.? She was so shocked, she had everyone email her your page of Food Compliance Policies.

So – we still don’t see whether this recalled meats will end up in pet food.? In case the USDA has the way, it won’capital t.? But don’t carry your breath.? In spite to federal laws that clearly state diseased animals will not be allowed in any meals (human or furry friend), the FDA provides pet food/animal food creation with free rule.? Just about any waste is certainly welcome in pet food – and the consumer isn’t informed.

Ask your pet foods manufacturer if most meats (including meat meals) are taken from USDA checked and approved animal products.?? Warning – many will tell you their meats usually are sourced from Usda inspected facilities.? This particular isn’t what you need to recognize.? You want (deserve) to understand if the meat itself is USDA inspected plus approved.? Be prolonged.? The pet food and treat companies that have provided us their Pledge to Quality in addition to Origin – have already offered consumers this information.? Click Here to look at those Pledges.

A couple FDA Compliance Policies…
