I found a list at the FDA’s website of all the recalled dog and cat foods. It was overwhelming, and scary. It seems like every pet food manufacturer is listed there. Each manufacturer only lists certain foods as contaminated, but due to the potential for cross-contamination, which I discussed in a previous post on the recall, none of the foods made by the listed manufacturers may be safe.
