For those of you, like myself, that want to stay away from chinese glutens of all kinds -- be aware that Triple Crown makes a product called everlasting treat and everlocking treat that goes into a rubbery type ball that is supposed to give dogs a long term chew.? However, the treats that go into this rubbery ball are made out of chinese wheat gluten and is also produced in China.? It is said to be tested and free of melamine, but many of us choose to not take the chance.?
The CEO of the company responded to me in a very defensive way and said that I was simply uninformed about the high standards that China has for food products.? Also that the recall is only an isolated incident and that I was reacting to media hype.? (What hype?? The media has been notoriously quiet on the recall) He claimed that we are just misinformed about the high standards that are in China regarding food production, because he travels there and he knows....?
I say hooey for him.? I choose to pass along the information so other "misinformed" pet owners like myself can choose to buy American, not Chinese!
Thank you for passing along ALL the information! What a crappy attitude for a CEO ....IMNSHO.... I certainly would not buy from that company for several reasons, and his manner is certainly one of them.
I noticed today the pig rolls that I thought I used to buy are "made in china", so I passed them up. These are made/sold by HARTZ. I presume that was the same brand I used to buy, but it's been awhile so I am not sure of that and I don't have an old empty package to compare.
Thanks again, all us 'uninformed' pet parents that have been constantly on the internet for nearly 3 months solid, really appreciate being told we know nothing and we should go by what he wants us to believe. This rude Triple Crown CEO sounds like a triple jerk to me. But as always, that's just my opinion.
