My cats have eaten 9 Lives Tuna flakes for years, in addition to dry SD and Nutro. This past weekend I bought a few cases and noticed when I dished it out that the consistency had changed. It's always slightly different, some has more water, etc, but this looked like it went through a grinder. So I start looking at the cans and I notice they're different too. (different color metal, ring pattern on the top, bottom, etc) Then I start reading the label.
They added "Product of Thailand". The old cans say Manufactured by Del Monte Foods and then lists their Pittsburge PA address. The new can says Manufactured for Del Monte Foods, the PA address and then Product of Thailand. They also added "Pet Food Only" to the bottom of the can where the product code is.
So I get right on the phone to them and the rep tells me it's always been manufactured in Thailand, but they have just changed their label. She wanted to know if the pets were still eating it, (which they are) took down all my info to report my call.
Me thinks companies are rushing to cover their "bases" quick before the fallout starts. I'm not sure what to think...I hate the idea of buying petfood made in Thailand cause in some cases there, pets are the food.
