There are also questions concerning manufacturing dates of products, packaging dates and best by dates. If manufacture and best by dates don’t coincide, where and how has the food been stored? Why aren’t the dates matching?
We still hold that all pet food companies and their outsource facilities should be responsible for constantly checking these plants for safe, sanitary conditions.
When we buy their food, we place our pets’ lives in their hands. It’s time to make them accountable to us.
