Australians ONLY - Orijen users alert

[carolina]

Ok, I read and re-read this - can someone please post clearly the name/information about the rendering facility, and it's usage capacity by Orijen?
I am sorry If I am for some reason missing this information, but I opened the documents, and could not find it - I also googled this, and only found this accusation in here... So, can you please post 1:The name of the facility, 2: What comes from that facility (used by Orijen)?
Thanks!

I spoke with Champion on Monday about this and was told that the ingredient is human-grade ("Category 3" in EU requirement terminology) chicken meal. The company stated that this product is not available in Canada, thus the importation.

Quite coincidently, just tonight, someone on Itchmo has pointed out that the Orijen FAQ page states

Our chicken meals and fats are produced from human-grade chicken ingredients in Alberta, Canada http://www.championpetfoods.com/faq/

I have sent a message to the individual I spoke with pointing out the discrepancy and requesting an explanation.

The company's website http://www.griffinind.com/
I note on this page

Griffin Industries' products manufactured in Jackson, Mississippi and Union City, Tennessee are EU Certified http://www.griffinind.com/PFS.php

The chicken meal product appears here http://www.griffinind.com/FPS-CK.php .
Am I as anxious as I was at first? No.
Do I have all the info I want? NO.
