FDA to investigate after ABC7 exposes euthanasia drug in dog food
Much of the story goes back to the 2016 Evangers story about a can of their dog food killing a family's dog and severely sickening her other dogs. After that long long rehash, you get to the current story. A lab by the name Ellipse lab tested various brands of food and Big Heart Foods Gravy Train (also dog food) came back with a 60% rate of pentobarbital in it. Nine cans.
"Big Heart Brands is also the maker of Meow Mix, Milk Bone, Kibbles’n Bits, 9 Lives, Natural Balance, Pup-Peroni, Gravy Train, Nature’s Recipe, Canine Carry Outs, Milo’s Kitchen, Alley Cat, Jerky Treats, Meaty Bone, Pounce and Snausages."
Like the Evangers issue from last year it suggests an unethical meat supply chain. The article doesn't say what flavor of Gravy Train. The Evangers issue was specifically with beef flavor.
Anyway note the presence of several brands under this umbrella that also make cat food.
