Kucinich demands answers from FDA about pet food recall

Published: Monday April 2, 2007

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking pointed questions about the pet food recall that has now affected 60 million cans of food and at least four pet food manufacturers.

"Millions of American families have a right to be assured that everything possible is being done to protect the health of their beloved family pets and to determine how in the world the pet food supply could have been contaminated," Kucinich said in a statement released to RAW STORY today. "We must also find out when the FDA officials first learned that our nation's pets were in danger of being poisoned by their own pet food."

The letter demands information about how the FDA learned of the tainted food and what action was taken.

According to the official FDA count, so far 16 animals have died as a result of eating tainted pet food, though the FDA says they have fielded more than 8,000 complaints. Independent sources, however, have reported much higher pet death numbers.
