I just recieved this email from Bue Seal. It is encouraging. We switched to this brand of dog food today after looking into several other dog foods.
In response to the very large volume of e-mail inquires that we are receiving, we are utilizing this automatic e-mail response system to provide fast, updated information concerning the Menu Foods pet food recall.
Concerned Pet Owner
The Menu Foods recall that is currently underway has caused concern for pet owners. We thank you for contacting us directly concerning our products. Here are the facts as they stand today:
Most importantly, we do not have any products involved in this or any other pet food recall. Specific answers to the most common questions we are receiving are:
All Blue Seal® branded dry pet food products are made at facilities owned and operated by Blue Seal Feeds, Inc.
Our Blue Seal® branded dry pet foods do not contain any of the suspect ingredient, "wheat gluten".
Some Blue Seal® branded baked dog biscuits / treats do contain wheat gluten. However, our wheat gluten supplier is a U.S. company based in Michigan and has been our supplier for many years. Wheat gluten is used generally as a dough conditioner and is included in very small amounts.
Our Blue Seal® branded canned pet food products are manufactured by Menu Foods, but are of the loaf category and do not contain wheat gluten. This category of canned product has not been recalled.
Our By Nature® and Brandon Farms(tm) brand of dry, canned and pouch pet foods, both natural and organic, do not contain any wheat products. Our Canine Whites(tm) dog biscuits / treats do contain some wheat gluten, but from the same Michigan supplier as our Blue Seal® branded biscuits / treats.
6. The majority of ingredients used in the manufacture of all of our products is sourced from North America if available. Some proprietary ingredients must be sourced from foreign countries because they are only available from foreign sources; example - trace minerals.
The intent of this message is to reassure customers that our pet food products are not affected by the Menu Foods or any other pet product recall. Thank you.
Hope this helps.
