I just found out i have been feeding my cat re-called food… 3 weeks after the recall! Can anyone give meinfo
I looked on the cat food recall list when it first came out, and could have sworn that the UPC code did not match my cats food, but after the 2nd recall i decided to give it another glance. It turns out that my cats wet food pouches (Nutro natural adult complete care) are all on the contaminated list!! I feel so guilty and worried, as it has been 3 WEEKS he has been eating this food! I am going to call the vet tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone knows signs to look for other than lethargy and vomiting. He has exhibited no unusual behaviors yet, but i am frantic! Any advice?? Does anyone know how many cats have been affected so far? I can’t find any recent estimates in my internet searches…

Do you know how to tell what country your food comes from?
For your Information … the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.
Sample: all barcodes that start with 690 up to 695 are MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan
[]
This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to INFORM ourselves.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products ‘made in china’, so they don’t show from which country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits is 690 to 695, then it is Made in China .
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Liechtenstein
471 ~ Taiwan
480 – 489 ~ Philippines
628 ~ Saudi-Araba
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
690 – 695 ~ China
740 ~ 745 – Central
Bleacher, i got this list in an email. I know walmart gets many things including food from china. they seem to get around it by saying where is was distributed from on the label. That tells us what factory is was sent from but not the country of Origin. I once saw raspberries in ALDI’s from mexico, and beef also. I am like you, I want to know where my food comes from.

Do think that food companies should be required to label any products that have been genetically modified?
Why or why not?
