80% of selected pet food diets were contaminated with unidentified ingredients. – Ricci et al.
3 out of 4 diets claiming “no soy” were positive for soy. – Willis-Mahn et al.
14 out of 17 diets had significant levels of animal protein that were not listed on the label. – Maine et al.
20 out of 52 samples were deemed mislabeled since they contained an unidentified meat species and/or did not contain meat species that were listed on the product label. – Okuma et al.
8 out of 21 foods tested positive for an animal protein not listed. 2 listing venison tested negative for deer. 5 out of 12 foods labeled as gluten-free contained glutens. – Allred
4 venison diets were tested for beef and soy. 3 out of 4 were positive for soy but did not list soy on the product label. One tested positive for beef even though beef was not listed on the ingredient list. – Raditic et al.
It is alarming that the mislabeling or unidentified ingredients trend is not limited to over-the-counter pet foods but also includes limited ingredient diets, prescription and hydrolyzed diets. – Dodds

Thank you, MC. By the time I'd tweeted that last night, I was getting sleepy. And I don't like making posts sleepy. I always get something wrong.

Sounds like Blue Buffalo shouldn't be the only company paying big bucks in a class action suit.
