I'm wondering if all the wellness canned food, which the ingredients has been added chicken livers, is safe? Does wellness pet canned food has been contaminated by toxic chicken liver? I have one dog and one cat, they are all wellness canned food lovers. And being a owner, I'm really concerned about my pets' health. news sources from CNN and Reuter link: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/08/drugs-pfizer-nitro-idUSN0826081020110608 http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/06/08/fda.chicken.drug/index.html sincerely *** Wellness原廠的回信： 14.June.2011 Dear ***, Thank you for taking the time to write about Wellness® canned cat food. Our chicken livers originate from chicken for human consumption. We source our poultry from partner suppliers who are able to meet our exacting quality standards – standards that enable us to deliver consistently safe, premium-quality food for pets, including no use of growth hormones and raising animals on a regular diet of quality feed. Our suppliers also must comply with local, state and federal environmental standards. As such, our poultry has been raised in the most environmentally friendly and humane way possible. We understand and share your concern. All of the suppliers of the raw materials that go into WellPet products are aware of our high quality standards. We ask that they do not supply materials that contain excessive and unnecessary amounts of antibiotics. If antibiotics are required to keep the animals in the best possible health, they are used under the strict supervision of highly trained veterinarians and in accordance with all USDA and FDA regulations to ensure these products are completely safe. All of our poultry is antibiotic free at time of harvest. I will pass the information and links you have sent us to our Quality Assurance and Product Development department. At WellPet we are committed to providing the highest quality pet foods and treats available. Our expert staff of engineers is continuously improving our products to ensure that they are tasty and nutritious for your pet. I hope this information helps to answer your question, please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. Thanks again for contacting us.
