April 5, 2007: Recall Expands as Lawmakers Demand Answers

With the FDA reporting that it has received more than 10,000 complaints of sick and dying companion animals, Menu Foods expanded its recall today to include 20 more varieties of food. This new recall came nearly two days after the company’s former wheat gluten supplier, ChemNutra, announced a nationwide recall of its product, admitting that it had known the ingredient was suspect as far back as March 8. The first recall was not issued until March 16. Some dog biscuits are now also being recalled. 

Sen. Dick Durbin announced today that the U.S. Senate will hold a hearing on the recall to focus on the delay in reporting the contamination to consumers, the lack of health and safety inspections at the plant where the contaminated food was manufactured, and incomplete reporting on the part of the FDA as developments in the recall occurred.
