Just as a point of interest, I had a bag of Canidae about a year ago that had that white grit all over the kibble......when I called them, I said it looked like somebody had sprinkled salt over it.  I was told it was due to breakage during shipping......didn't buy that one as kibble isn't white.  Brought it back to the store & never bought it again.

Somebody shortly after that found the same white grit in another brand of kibble but I can't remember now what it was.  I do remember when they called the company, they were told to throw it out & to disinfect the container before they put more food in it (where they were storing the kibble).  That sure didn't make me feel too good about what they thought that white grit may be.  I'm not sure right now who the poster was but if they read this, they can tell you what brand it was. 

Too bad about my failing memory, huh? Wink

It was me & it was Purina 1 sensitive system dry dog. [my memory stinks too !]It turned out to be vitamin E,I had it tested at Expertox through Accutrace. I didn't have the test done for exact amount because it wasn't a toxin, but the bag was full of it. It looked like someone dumped way too much in during mixing or after it cooked.I never did hear back from Purina despite multiple calls. They did send a refund for all the other food that was in the pantry near it,& a sample collection bag[which I sent registered & have a signature for].I still wonder what they thought it was. I could not find a lot of info about toxic amounts of vit e, but it can & did cause diarhea for 5 wks in 1 of my dogs. It also can cause or make cancer worse.A lot of pf co's use vit e as a natural preservative,& we have been hearing a lot of complaints about gritty food again. If it looks strange, don't use it !

Leslie:

I thought it was you & I also thought it was Purina but my memory is so bad that I just wasn't sure.  I didn't want to use your name in case I was wrong.

I remember the post about them telling you to disinfect the container.  So from that point forward, I would never feel comfortable about any dry food that had grit in it.  Whether it's Vit E or whatever, I still wouldn't use it.

Thanks for the friendly reminder for one who is continually losing brain cells to old age, especially the memory cells...... Wink

Duh.......

 :oHas anyone hear heard that Canidae is now outsourcing their food to Diamond? I read a posting on another forum and they posted an email they received from the company explaining their reasoning. The irony is the increased demand made them have to do this, and the main reason for the increased demand was that it wasn't a Diamond product!I have emailed the comp and also requested to reprint the email from the other forum. I will post anything I can.Just wondering if this is common knowledge yet.Their website doesn't have anything yet that I could find.
