I bet they don't throw it away either.  Probably send it as food for pigs or cows and just continue the circle of contaminated food.

Sending best wishes that Kaffe is feeling better and all the test results are good and point to an easily resolvable cause.   

I wondered too if inhaling the mold was a problem for dogs.  My mom keeps saying my dog needs to work for ATF or DEA.  Maybe I should just train her to find liver or tripe treats and stay away from the mold and other things that could get me arrested 

OMG, Klondike.  My mom's condo building had water damage and they said all the mold had been removed but everytime my dog walked in the condo she sneezed.  Then we found more mold.  We made jokes that she could be a mold detection dog.  But there is such a thing!   

Which would be different than this recall.

Whole Foods announced the beef recall on its website, noting that the tainted beef comes from Coleman Natural Beef and was processed at Nebraska Beef processing facility. Coleman beef was the subject of a previous United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recall for E. coli contamination.

That's scary, Offy.

Great pictures!

What a sweetie pie!

That's just too funny.  What, is the Puget Sound area the only place with bikini baristas?  I could probably hit 3 of them just driving from my house into Seattle.  (and 2 dozen Starbucks and another dozen independents) 
And I vote for a scrolling "Safe pet food now" too. 

3cat, I'm not a member there, just stumbled across it.  But I'll think about posting your suggestion to contact the FDA.  I called Weruva recently about some of their canned in the US food.  She "couldn't" tell me where it was canned but would tell me it wasn't at Evangers, he he.   
And I still don't see anything on the Evanger's site about the emergency permit.  I'd feel better about them if they would at least leave it posted. 

Love the stories about the snakes.  We bred my female corn snake may years ago and incubated the eggs and watched them hatch.  They came out about the size of pencils.  Very cute.  And ready to eat!  They kept trying to bite you but were too small to break the skin.

Morphs from a possible problem with canned Evangers to canned Canidae made by Evangers.

I just found out from my friend who works as a veterinary technician that 2 dogs came into her office near death after eating Evanger’s canned dog food. It was touch and go for awhile, but they’re going to be OK. They are awaiting test results from samples sent to the lab but it looks like the food was contaminated by botulism. I researched Evangers online and they have been under question by the FDA since April. So, please be careful and if you have this food at home, throw it away!

Wanted to follow-up on the Canidae C&R cans. I opened one of the cans and the smell was so bad that I immediately threw it out. I opened another can and the same awful smell. Obviously I threw away the cans. I called Canidae and they said their canned food was still being made a Evangers. There is also a post on the GSD board regarding Canidae C&R cans with a terrible smell. The poster called Canidae as did I however all Canidae would say is they they would send coupons.
However, no more Canidae for me, ever.

Thanks, kaffe, I appreciate your opinion.  Maybe it's time to get the tartar back under control with a fresh bottle of Petzlife and then switch to Biotene for maintenance.  (The Biotene ingredients sound similar to the Wysong's ingredients.)   

Cool website!  Thanks!

Hey, Klondike, did you feel the earthquake we just had?  I didn't.  I was reading this thread when they announced it on the news.  Ha, ha.
