Dog Food recall.

[Catherine]

I understand that the elevated Vit D levels were not intended. The company is blaming one of its suppliers for the problem.

I hope you are able to access this article. 

What I notice is that Hills doesn't seem to be taking much responsibility for the toxic Vit D levels in the food. They don't quality control test their foods or they would have found out before the food was sent out. I would expect that from a cheap no name brand of food. This is an expensive prescription diet. The food is formulated to provide special diets for things like kidney disease. If they are not testing their foods how do they know they are providing what they say they are providing. 

There are an alarming number of pet food recalls in the USA(and Canada because we use the same suppliers). Usually food is recalled after a number of animals have died. We have a fair number of recalls of human foods as well. There is a lot of careless handling of foods and there is a carelessness about the ingredients that go into foods. We need some accountability about the things that go into our foods. We need some oversight as to how that food is produced. Until that happens animals and people will keep getting sick and dying from the foods we eat.
