Can we talk about all of these raw food recalls happening in the past 2 months? I think there have been about 15 of them so far in 2018, most are based on random testing conducted by state departments of agriculture. The most recent one hits home because I am feeding Radcat every day and I genuinely believed it to be the best pet food on the market. I'm not saying that this recall necessarily changes my mind, but it sucks seeing a food that you feed your cat every day and think is healthy in a negative light.
What are people's thoughts about the recalls? A part of me is a bit critical and believes that the FDA is directly targeting raw pet food companies and that if dry food was being randomly tested to the same extent we would see just as many, if not more, recalls. But another part of me wonders if we should be concerned with feeding our pets raw food?
I'm also confused because many of these companies claim to test their batches before releasing them to the public.
I'm just hoping to have an open discussion...
