Will the Darkest Secrets of Pet Food be Revealed?

I really hope that this is going to be as big and loud as some of the witnesses think.

The lawsuit is multiple former employees of a Mars Petcare kibble manufacturing facility in Joplin, MO against Mars Petcare and a few other businesses; a sort of ‘David(s) v Goliath’. The former employees of the Mars plant (‘former’ employees as the pet food plant was shut down in July of 2013) initiated the lawsuit in August of 2012 claiming Mars Petcare was ‘negligent and careless’ in preventing employee exposure to pesticides and other toxins used on pet food ingredients or in the pet food product.

Not much is known about the case, very little has been written about it thus far (I suspect that will change dramatically starting in January). In September 2013 KOAM TV spoke with a former employee of Mars Petcare stating “It’s huge. It’s going to be the biggest thing to hit this area. It’s going to be a corporate killer.”

One website post on the lawsuit (in 2014) spoke with a former employee of the Mars Petcare plant…

“The former employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, also said, “We don’t know how much. We know there was stuff coming in that was fumigated and was not listed as being fumigated that went straight into making pet food.”

“According to the former worker, “They said the way the drought is, the farmers would be putting stuff under gas to kill the bugs. And that’s when they gave us the meters. They would have logs where they kept track of what the readings were, and they started taking those. They wouldn’t let us know, and they forged our signatures, saying the levels were at zero.”
