WASHINGTON - Government inspectors are checking food makers who use protein concentrates to make sure none of the contaminated products found in pet food have reached other products, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday.

There is no evidence that any of the two contaminated batches of wheat gluten and rice protein from China ended up as an ingredient in human food, "but it's prudent to look," said Dr. David Acheson, assistant FDA commissioner for food protection.

Acheson said the inspections began this week, covering both human and pet food manufacturers to raise awareness of how important it is to know their supply chain and to make sure none of the contaminated products remain in stock.

The number of facilities to be visited could be in the range of hundreds, Acheson said, based on knowledge of what ingredients go to which manufacturer.

1. operative spinn words..' none of the 2 batches'.. they KNOW it is in EVERYTHING, this is a common

rip off racket in China.. it is like a salting a gold mine.. making it look like there is more protein than there is and poisoning pets and people, the major cause of death in china is environmental polution... this stuff is made from coal burning toxic waste..

they are not going to reveal that china is taking our jobs and POISONING us too or there would abe a boycot..damn that sounds nice, my dead cat and puking dogs would like to see that.. i look at a labels and do not buy chinese food or anything else from china if i can manage it.. the genocide in Tibet is still going on, and Bank of America is financing the Rape of Tibet too.. divest chinese of our jobs and procucts

2. Huge wealthy corporations do not have to label their products

if they contain Communist Chinese poisoned ingredients. They just list the wheat and rice protein, they don't say where it comes from. You can bet your bottom dollar that the majority of foods Wal-Mart carries is not from the US.

This is a result of free trade. You can trade anything and the American people (probably communist Chinese too) are your product safety test. Just pray you aren't the first to test it.
