"In a letter on ChemNutra's website, Chief Executive Steve Miller said, "We are concerned that we may have been the victim of deliberate and mercenary contamination for the purpose of making the wheat gluten we purchased appear to have a higher protein content than it did."
"Adding melamine, with its high amount of nitrogen, to wheat gluten would give the illusion of a higher protein content, Madl said."
Fake Protein with Melamine
Isn't this wonderful news? Why put REAL protein in foods which will be served to obligate carnivores that depend on having REAL protein in their foods? I guess it is so much better to use a chemical used in plastics or as fertilizers which will give a protein reading for the food which is far higher than the actual protein content of the food. Who really cares if our pets die anyway? It only matters that the public be fooled into thinking the food has REAL protein at the cheapest possible cost, right?
Menu Foods disgusts me.

Funny how the Menu Foods website doesn't list ANY email address contact information for the company. If you call the Menu Foods 800 number, they claim "we are not aware of any email addresses to reach the company."
