Well, I would expect you would know more than anyone! However it was not my info, got it from someone else who had posted it in the middle of a bunch of info on recalls, but I figured she had missed it so I reposted that little part in response to her question....visit the link below for full article (I C&P part of article below) http://www.howl911.com/petfoodrecall_list.htm DISCLAIMER: The foods listed below are not under recall. However, they all have been reported to contain rice protein concentrate (a.k.a., brown rice protein; rice gluten). While some companies are claiming their RPC is "safe" and/or is not from the same supplier involved in the Natural Balance recall, we advise against using these products until the FDA has completed its investigation and emphatically declared all RPC, be it from China or elsewhere, as 100% free from contamination. I was curious myself, as we all are now reading the labels more than ever! From what I understand brewers rice, rice bran, rice flour and brown brewers rice are ok...whole different type of rice. See more info from Diamond on the rice protein concentrate at this website http://www.diamondpet.com/vet_notes/dogs/95/ Maggie Marshall Aeval German Shepherds http://hometown.aol.com/gsdlady28/index.html Website Updated 03/21/2007 -----Original Message----- From: ssthunderpony@xxxxxxxxx To: gsdlady28@xxxxxxx; willowlakegsd@xxxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, 21 Apr 2007 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] rice protein concentrate No such thing as rice gluten.
