Contaminated Pet Food Still On Shelves

So, you think the danger is over? Think again. Some stores still haven’t removed the recalled products from their shelves.

Contaminated pet food is still being sold at some stores, U.S. health officials warned on Thursday after checking hundreds of retail outlets.

The Food and Drug Administration said it had inspected about 400 stores nationwide and still found some dog and cat food products affected by last month’s recall by Canada-based pet food maker Menu Foods Income Fund and other manufacturers.

“FDA believes most companies have removed the recalled product; however, some have not,” the agency said in a statement.

Shouldn’t the FDA be releasing the names of the companies that haven’t removed it from their shelves so consumers know where not to purchase pet food?
