As the tainted pet-food recall mushroomed into an international scandal, two of the largest U.S. food manufacturers put out a blanket order to their U.S. suppliers: no more ingredients from China.
The directive from Mission Foods and Tyson Foods, made quietly last month, underscored consumers' and manufacturers' fears about the safety of imported food ingredients after contaminated wheat products from China killed and sickened cats and dogs in the United States.
The problem is, what Mission and Tyson want is next to impossible.
America needs a safe food supply. A food supply that isn't a risk of being spiked with melamine to increase profits, a food supply that is subject to all the American regulations and standards that are supposedly in place to protect us and our pets.
