Update on the Pet Food Recall

May 10, 2007

The Chinese government has detained an unknown number of managers from Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. Ltd. and Binzhou Futian Biology Technology Co. Ltd.. This came after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cited the two plants as those being the source of the contaminated wheat gluten.

There is a growing concern about the safety of food and drug shipments from China. The two companies that were cited by the FDA deliberately mislabeled the exported products to avoid inspection. China's former top drug regulator goes on trial later this month for taking bribes to approve drugs that had not been tested. Mississippi and Alabama have banned catfish from China after they were found to contain ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin, antibiotics banned for use in the United States. Louisiana officials said that they will begin testing all seafood imports from China for antibiotics. Maybe this needs to be a wakeup call!
