Another Good Reason to Eat Organic

Less chance of getting funky stuff in our food supply.

This whole pet food recall situation is getting bigger by the day. 100 brands of the “cuts and gravy” style food have been recalled by Menu Foods of Canada, including popular labels sold at Wal-Mart, Kroger and other large retailers. I just checked the MenuFoods website for the list of recalled brands ... and Affrey's old food (Iams) is on there! http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_dog.html

Last Friday the FDA announced finding melamine as a contaminant in wheat gluten from an unnamed source. But what does that mean to the average consumer? We know how to read labels on the back of an Adams Peanut Butter jar - but dog food? That's when I'm extra glad that we feed Affrey organic dog food from Pet Promise.

Pet Promise (like a lot of organic dog foods) uses NO wheat gluten in any of their products - so it's safe for Affrey to munch (in moderation, she IS on a diet afterall). And no, that was not a paid advertisement ... although if you're reading Pet Promise, sending a coupon my way wouldn't hurt!

Sure, organic food has its share of issues. I don't need to remind anyone that the e.coli spinach thing of last year was traced back to Earthbound Farms. But at least you know it's all natural weird stuff ... not rat poison.
