No other reports, as yet, on that food grade wheat gluten in the US food
supply. I wish I could feel confident that no human food was affected.

What the evidence shows ME is that we put far too much confidence in
brand names. The Canadian company that used the gluten made dog food
under more than 100 different brand names including Iams and Eukenuba.
It makes one stop before spending more money for the hype and
advertising. Perhaps OL ROY is just as good as the brands that cost 6X
more. I know my pet is doing great on the stuff which sells for $1.85
for 5 pounds. I add an egg yolk to each feeding for a little more
protein and my border collie is growing very nicely with LOTS of
energy.

You might recall that there was a peanut butter recall about 6 mo. ago
too. There again it involved several brands. There was Peter Pan and
the Walmart cheap stuff, both made by the same company. There were
others, but again, why pay nearly twice for the same stuff. These
recalls are a real eye opener. dkw


The same manufacturing plant might make more than one brand of something but
they don't use the same quality of ingredients for the cheap stuff as they
do for the expensive stuff. They're called grade changes and they happen in
any kind of food plant. Product is sorted into grades before it's sent thru
the manufacturing process.
