So half the company can get away with poisoning someone's pet and the other half is ok? PLEASE!
Is that what we get to tell owners who fed canned food. "Well if you fed dry kibble your dog would have lived."
The food has & always will be junk, just because it only happen with canned doesn't change the fact.
Edit: It most certainly does matter where the "meat" comes from. Would you eat your morning "meat meal" if disclosed on the label the conditions under which it was made.
The FDA's recall list at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/ includes Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, Nutro, and Royal Canin. Somehow Wysong managed to cover up the stealth recall last year. It is quite misleading to bash the major brands for recalls when unlike them, some of the highly rated kibbles were recalled.
As for you comment about junk, it is entirely without backing.
