7 Months Later, the FDA Finally Gives us Information on Purina – Truth about Pet Food

I posted in the fda portal. I have old food. I have vet reports. Not stating their food was cause, but several visits dedicated to gastric / behavior issues revolved around smelly cans , cases. Starting from October for me. I was never contacted by fda.

OMG... Winter my Iggy, went through seizures every time she went on Purina! I thought it was something else, but as her seizures were so infrequent and short, the vet said not to worry about it

large bone fragments found in Farmina dog food. not a recall. Farmina's response - “While we have many procedures to ensure the highest quality product possible, natural materials such as bone or bone fragments attached to the high-quality muscle meat we receive from regional suppliers can be accidentally missed.”

though the question was about dog food, reporting is the same for cat food.

What you can do=

"if a pet owner in the US finds a piece of bone in a beef, lamb, or pork pet food – you can report the issue to FDA reminding them that bone fragments are not allowed in a meat pet food. Accident or not, bone in a meat (excluding poultry) pet food would mean the product is mislabeled."

For anyone interested below is the timeline of the FDA's awareness of and recall on the Boar's Head problem. It's safe to say the recalls on pet food are no faster. First illness for Boar's Head reported May 29, first recall of the deli meat July 26. That timeline is one thing that keeps me alert to the 'antidotal information' about illnesses possibly connected to food, that many discount as chance, mistake, whatever. Perhaps sometimes it is chance, mistake, whatever, sometimes it isn't. The point is you have NOTHING else to go by, but the Grace of God, the turning of the Universe, or chance.
