I Although I know these 2 canned cat foods Fancy Feast sliced/diced/flaked (contains Wheat Gluten) and Lick your Chops (canned) Lamb and Rice for cats (Contains Rice Gluten) are NOT on the Recall List-- I STILL have issues with them becuz they contain Wheat Gluten and/or Rice Gluten I WILL NOT feed these foods to my cats. I would like to PROPERLY DISPOSE of these foods -- but I can't think of a PROPER way of disposing them without 1)harming the environemnt or 2)Inadvertantly having a stray animal getting into the garbage and eating this stuff. Any suggestions?  |

Any suggestions? Ace Couple of things come to mind. If you have a garbage disposal, dump it down there, if you live in the country dump it in the septic. If you live in the city dump it in the sewer, if you can't do that dump it in the toilet and flush. It should be OK in the sanitary system, that stuff is all treated at the waste disposal plant and usually incinerated, or processed to destroy anything nasty. If none of those are OK with you, you could always burn it, don't know where you live though. good luck db  |

Yes, I also have issues with all rice gluten and rice I dont cook myself at home anymore. I would most definitely toss it in a bag into the garbage asap. Mia2 |

I would take them back to the store or throw unopened in a secure trash bag. If opened, I would flush them.

If you want the money back and have the receipt, return the food to the store. Otherwise open it and flush it down the toilet or like db said your garbage disposal if you have one.

But they don't want it ingested by another animal. Now, what are the odds you take the food back, get a refund, and its replaced on the shelf? |

I'd probably toss the food in the garbage and recycle the can. If the food is in a sealed trash bag, it will go to the landfill or incinerator. Odds are, it will be buried under tons of other trash long before a passing scavenger can root it out of your bag. Garbage disposal would be fine as well.

If you are returning recalled canned food to a store, you could write on the metal (not the label) with an indelible marking pen, "RECALLED" or "POISON". I'm still saving unopened recalled cans of food I fed as evidence (marking them, of course) and saving 2 cans from each case I currently feed (just in case I need them, hoping I never do). Yep, call me paranoid. Thank you.

Never forget our cats and dogs and the Pet Food Recalls of 2007; the reason most of us are here!

Now, what are the odds you take the food back, get a refund, and its replaced on the shelf? Karvskitties This is an excellent point, one which has been addressed on another forum too. That is an excellent reason NOT TO RETURN IT. Find a safe way to dispose of it, keep it for future testing but I would be really hesitant to bring it back unless I kept a list of product codes, etc. Nothing saying that the manufacturer won't re-combine the old with new at some dilution ratio to hide the toxins. Like we trust them anymore, yeah right. db  Yep, call me paranoid. Justme Ok so you're paranoid, so what. Too bad all of us didn't keep samples, I'll bet they were counting on that, the last thing we would keep after a pet died would be the food that killed them. db  |

Has anyone a source as to where the rest of the recalled food is at? How do you or anyone else know for sure that it is not being recycled into new packaging, new bags, new labels put on the cans so you think its brand new food and it still contains the poisons that killed all of the beloved animals so far? We need pictures of this stuff being destroyed, burned, incinerated so it can not be put out to harm or kill anymore.

where the rest of the recalled food is at JJ This question has been raised before, no one seems to know what has happened to it. There does not appear to be any information that anyone has found that would tell us where it is. Some theories that have been put forth, mixed back in with new food at a ratio that would dilute it further maybe gone to a rendering plant maybe sold to a feed lot again diluted who knows db |

dingbat someone will find out that I'm sure. Someone with a conscience will let everyone know.
