Аленка, дело в том, что опасными посчитали не только RICE GLUTEN ,но и другие овошные протеины, которые добавляются в сухие корма, так ,например, WHEAT GLUTEN , который ,как оказалось тоже закупают в Китае.
Q: Has melamine been identified as the causative agent in the reported illnesses?
The association between melamine in the kidneys and urine of cats that died and melamine in the food they consumed is undeniable. Additionally, melamine is an ingredient that should not be in pet food at any level. However, we are not yet fully certain that melamine is the causative agent. As in any investigation, we follow leads, use advanced forensics and try to narrow down the cause.
Q: What research exists regarding melamine and cats and dogs?
There is a scarcity of research in the published literature on melamine exposure in dogs and cats. We know of a 1945 published article in which dogs were administered 125 mg of melamine/kg body weight. The study reported melamine as having a diuretic effect, but no toxic effects were noted. We are not aware of any studies in the published literature involving the administration of melamine to cats.
Q: How did melamine get into the wheat gluten?
At this time, we do not know how the melamine got into the wheat gluten.
Q. Where did the contaminated wheat gluten come from?
We have traced the source to a single supplier, Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology, of China.

и еше, оказывается, что китайское правительство разрешило переправку ингридиентов в США, потому, что на них было обозначено "не для пишевого потребления":
Melamine is a molecule that has a number of commercial and
industrial uses. Other than a few limited authorizations for use
in food contact materials for human food, melamine has no approved
use as an ingredient in human or animal food in the United States.
FDA is continuing its investigation into how the melamine and
melamine related compounds may have gotten into the vegetable
protein, and has asked the Chinese government to help with this
investigation.
In addition, FDA does not know how widespread the problem in China
might be. For example, FDA does not know which regions of the
country may or may not be impacted by the problem, which firms are
the major manufacturers and exporters of vegetable proteins to the
United States, where these vegetable proteins are grown in China,
and what controls are currently in place to prevent against
contamination.
According to the Chinese government, Xuzhou Anying did not declare
the contaminated wheat gluten it shipped to the United States as a
raw material for feed or food. Rather, according to the Chinese
government, it was declared to them as non-food product, meaning
that it was not subject to mandatory inspection by the Chinese
government.
проше говоря, в ингридиентах ( Rice Gluten, Wheat Gluten)содержался меламин, который ЗАПРЕШЕН для использования в пишевых продуктах для людей и животных на территории США , что касается других стран, то КТО знает? Китай - самый крупный производитель овошных протеинов в мире. КТО может поверить, что в другие страны он не продает ингридиенты с меламином? КТО верит, что бренчи в других странах не покупают ингридиенты в Китае? КТО сможет утверждать, что ТОЛ"КО американские компании торгуют с Китаем?
Одно можно утверждать, что Американский Департамент по Здравоохранению FDA строго контролирует продукты питания и ВСЕ случаи отравлений ими и у людей, и у животных.
