What food are NOT packaged at Menu - Page 2 - Chihuahua Forum : Chihuahua Breed Dog Forums

Here's what I found on one site:

Quote:

AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON A RESTRICTED BASIS:
Wellness, Pinnacle cat, Avoderm cat, Newman's Own Organics, Wysong
These brands are produced in whole or in part by Menu Foods. The manufacturers tell us that:

None of their products are being recalled
They have had no reports of sick, dying, or dead pets.
Their products do not contain wheat gluten.

We will sell these brands if a client is aware of the recall and the possible risk posed by feeding a product made by Menu Foods. Although we have been verbally assured that there is no problem with these foods, we cannot and do not guaranty their safety.

I tried to go to the Wellness/Old Mother Hubbard site and it appears to be closed down.

wow that sounds as though you should feed wellness at your own risk. Is that for the dry or the wet? I am currently feeding the wellness dry but after I found out that menu does the wellness canned food I went out & bought some merrick to try for a 2nd time around.

I have no clue. Sorry, I'm no help on that.

I just called the wellness customer service # & spoke to them about there food being canned by menu & the rep I spoke to seemed proud that they use the company I then asked about where the dry is made & he told me that they do not disclose that info & that there food is made at high quality plants around the US just like there canned foods!! It really made me mad & I kinda told him off a bit. So because they wont disclose there info & they use menu foods Im not interested in using their food anymore I just dont trust them or anyone else who wont say where they are made at. If they had nothing to hide or nothing to be ashamed of then they would say we are made here or there or whatever.

appleblossom, that would be my attitude. If your not hiding something, then be forthright! I guess I've decided to keep the boys on Merrick. They've gotten used to it now, so no point in changing.

The wellness guy made me so mad I wanted to jump through the phone & feed him my moms 4 cans of tainted alpo since he thinks menu foods are so great!! What a jerk!!! I do however have 2 6 lb bags & 1 15 lb bags of wellness I cant decide if I want to try & switch it for the merrick (Ive done alot of returns at the petstore lately) or if I just want to feed it & once its gone then fully switch to the merrick. I think Im going to call & see if I can exchange it it makes me kinda angry everytime I look at the bags!!

Lin - Weren't you talking one time about Diamond foods having a bunch of recalls? I can't remember now. (It was around the time you were switching them off of the CS) I know it wasn't part of this Menu Foods recall, but I think it was for something else.

I'm asking because I saw on your list that Solid Gold makes their dry food at Diamond Foods...I just switched Stewie to this & am wondering if that was a good choice now!

rachel, I have wished since starting all this changing that I had just stayed with CS. Chicken Soup is made at a completely different facility from the rest of the Diamond foods. Diamond has had some problems in the past, but CS has always been clear of the most recent issues. I wouldn't be a bit afraid of giving it to my guys. The Bil-jac has given these poor guys such bad gas that I just am not going to give it to them. I'm sticking with Merrick, simply because I don't want to change again. I think Diamond probably has their issues cleared up now too, but don't take my word for it at this point in time. Sheeeshh. :-/
