Note that it looks like this is also used as a human food additive/supplement.

You can just noticed a previously unobserved elephant in the living room.

God knows what else this stuff is in.

I've been asking that very question since the story broke.

BINGO!

Not long ago I read an article (either Newsweek or US News and World Reports?) about the growth of and demand for organic foods and how traditional American organic farmers can’t keep up with the demand and said many companies who produce and package organic foods are buying from…you guessed it – China.

Farmers who want their produce, grains, etc. to be labeled “Organic” have to meet strict USDA certifications as do any consumer end products but ingredients grown in other countries – well we just take their word for it and trust their “certifications”.

I would suspect this is a problem extends beyond organic foods and pet food – scary.
