Statement application/pdf (0.1Mb)

Following reports of sickness and death of pet animals (cats and dogs) in the United States (US), an investigation was undertaken by the US authorities to trace the source of these animal health problems. It was found that wheat gluten used for the production of pet food was at the origin of the animal health problems. Recall of pet food in which the wheat gluten was used was initiated in the US from mid-March onwards.
