This is the first laboratory-confirmed case of a non-recalled product containing melanine. One family confirms that the FDA is investigating these additional products.

NUTRA MAX CAT GOURMET CLASSICS: The following three 3-ounce varieties tested positive for melamine by UC Davis:

* Chicken Cacciatore, UPC 79105352055 * California Chicken Supreme, UPC 79105300117 * Lamb & Turkey Cutlets, UPC 79105300148

The test was privately requested by a California family that lost their cat.

It's already been posted Cazzy but thanks anyway; it's just not safe to feed any pet food or treats with wheat gluten IMO.
