FAT cat ALWAYS eating! Not even a YEAR OLD! - Page 2

Very interesting information strange_wings. I would greatly appreciate it if you could shoot me a private email with a reliable link or 2 on the 4D issue. Or maybe point me to some reading sources. If you have the time that is. Thanks.

I don't get my information online. Unlike some I don't rely on that.
As a Nutro employee you have the same capacity as I to learn about how the food is made, what is used, and where it is coming from. There's records of all of this, so it's not that hard to get to it. Look into the Mars side, too, they make more variety of quality (though the same ingredients are used, just in differing amounts).

Funny story. Back when the 2007 recalls were going on one of the high end brands made locally were claiming they didn't have gluten from China in their food. I got the source list and one of the suppliers were Chinese (different company, though). I emailed them this info, got a default reply back, and then they changed their site a day or so later.

I know how the food is made by Nutro. I'm primarily interested in what happens to the "byproduct" meats left over. I'll dig some more and find out what I can.

Funny story on my end - The recall back in 2007 is how I got my job at Nutro. I retired at 48 from my IT career and was looking forward to a quiet life with my dog, 2 cats and my garden. Throw in a little travel and I was happy. I had been following all of the recall information for weeks. So far the Nutro products I was using was not on the list or part of the recall. I was religious about reading any info on the recall I could get my hands on. Like so many other people were during that awful time. About 9 weeks into the recall, I walk into a Petsmart to get my weekly supply of canned cat food. Lo and behold was a yellow sign and empty shelves. I didn't read the sign, all I saw was the word recall. I went ballistic. The poor Petsmart employee wasn't sure what to do with me but luckily a Nutro rep was in the store at the time. He gave me the information on the Nutro recall, it was voluntary and no, I had not been poisoning my cats all this time. After I calmed down the Nutro rep asked me if there was anything else he could help me with. I said, "Yes, I want your job so I know what is really going on". He gave me a phone number to call and I got the job a couple of weeks later. I have not looked back since.

It has been a very rewarding experience for me and I've gained much knowledge. I still have much to learn about the pet food industry but it's something I enjoy very much. I'll have to dig around for the 4D info. That is one aspect of the industry I have not devoted a lot of time to.
