I have seen many bags that hold dry dog food getting switch from the traditional paper bag to a woven plastic bag.  I have confirmed that the vast majority of these bags are being imported from China.  I have also been informed (and seen pictures) on the lack of cleanliness/standards where these bags are being manufactured.  Long story short – it is nasty and I believe if you have seen what I have you would not want your pets eating food that has come out of this imported bag.  Am I making a mountain out a mole hill?  Or are my concerns valid?

Plastic…melamine…China…pet food…plastic bags…coincidence?

Very interesting point, woven plastic bags.  I haven't seen any yet.

I use Karma which is 95% organic and they state that the bag is recycled. So to make sure the food stays fresh even longer went to wally world before the recall and bought gallon glass jars (no plastic) and when I open a new bag I put it into these glass jars to keep air out, dust, etc. and feel safer knowing its not sitting in a bag that could leach out anything from the glue used to hold the seams together, etc into the food. Same with her organic treats - take them out of the bags and put them into glass dishes with covers too.
