They do not know if this Wheat Gluten enter our food system!!! I wouldn't eat anything that contains Wheat gluten for now . Now they are saying my worst fear this might of enter into the dry pet food .. My dh thought I was being parniode feeding our dog Chicken & Rice when the news broke out about the rat posion

The FDA was working to rule out the possibility that the contaminated wheat gluten could have made it into any human food, but was not aware of any risk to people

In a news conference, FDA officials said that the apparently melamine-contaminated wheat gluten also was shipped to a company that manufactures dry pet food, but they would not name the company

I was reading at one of my conspiracy sites and someone had a list of all the food that contained wheat gluten in human food......this was a couple days ago though I'll see late if I can find that list.

My doggy eats Bil n Jac select dry dog food....I am right now down to the last of the 35/40lbs bag I bought in Oct. I just bought a new bag last week......I hope this doesn't start effecting dry food..the only good thing is the food brand I buy is pretty expesive and not connected with this company....

I sure would appreicate the list.. Does it say Wheat Gluten only on food products or are there different names for it?

Thank you VAlerie251 ..It didn't dawn on me that it would affect all wheat products. I only had 4 hours of sleep so my brain is not functioning right

I'm just praying this did not enter our food supply. I think the gov is trying not to cause a panic..

Beer?? Chocolate bars??? ACK!!!!

God this is so scary and it right before all of this was happening if any of you remember my dog an 8lb black toy poodle was so sick that I thought she was dying and I hugged her all night. She came through ok after this whole thing but I am so mad. Now I am worried sick about the Dry Food and Human Food. What the heck is going on? The goverment is being irresponsible if they hide somthing not to cause panic. Disgusting!!

Are you kidding? I only buy "whole wheat" products because they are supposedly better for you. When did this go into effect - I am wondering if I should clear out the entire pantry!?!

There hasn't been any recall on any human food ..The FDA is looking into rather or not this enter into our food.
