What is being done to prevent further melamine contamination of pet food?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has halted the shipment of any products from the two Chinese companies implicated in the contamination, and is inspecting 100% of corn meal, corn gluten, wheat gluten, rice protein concentrate, soy protein and rice bran imported from China. Although contamination of all of these products has not been found, they are using caution and inspecting all of the vegetable products imported from China. The Chinese government is conducting an investigation, and the FDA is sending inspectors to China to investigate the matter in cooperation with the Chinese government.
