Doane Pet Foods
The latter part of 2008 brought two pet food recalls in the United States, due to possible salmonella contamination affecting Pedigree and more than a dozen other dog food and cat food brands that were manufactured at the Mars Petcare U.S., Everson, Pennsylvania pet food manufacturing facility.
Weeks after the August and September 2008 pet food recalls, additional food recalls made headlines. This time, the food recall involved an industrial chemical called melamine that was found in human-grade food products manufactured in China, including baby formula and an array of other products containing milk or other diary byproducts.
Melamine Testing in Human Foods
In the days following the announcement of the food recalls due to melamine contamination, melamine testing got underway in many Asian nations, including Singapore.
