Food
manufacturers have long held the belief that American consumers want
the cheapest food available.
This
mishap with pet food can serve as a wakeup call that using the cheapest
food ingredients can actually become a costly mistake.
The
wheat gluten that caused the deaths of the pets did not come from the
United States.
Country
of Origin Labeling is one way to assure that Americans have the
opportunity to purchase food raised in the United States.

"Every day since
the first recall was announced on March 17, we here at Pet Connection
have been informal members of a team of Web sites whose owners wanted
to help. None of us ever heard of the other before, but we all somehow
found our niche and together, we provided more support than any one of
us alone could have.
