Now it's Rice Protein Concentrate...

...that's in today's news...

The summary: Wilber-Ellis, a supplier of ingredients for pet food, has recalled the rice protein concentrate they shipped to five US pet food manufacturers. The rice protein concentrate was imported from a single source in China and found to contain melamine, the same chemical that has now sickened over 14,000 pets. Oddly, the news stays firm on only 16 deaths, but when you look at the growing list, the natural fear is that there have been many more lives claimed than what is being reported.

The FDA has reorganized the list and now has an easy-to-navigate web page of all the brands that have been recalled.
