SmartPak is saying that this is odd because this particular dog food doesn’t contain any rice protein concentrate, wheat gluten or any of the other ingredients that are on FDA’s import watch list. They are saying it may be cross-contamination.

At least this company cared enough to have everything tested instead of waiting until people lost their pets. That’s a plus in my opinion. Now they don’t even know why it’s contaminated! This is getting SO scary, and not even being close to over yet!
