In what era, some people's thoughts are still stuck in foreign countries (especially the United States) and things that are definitely better than domestic ones, but there are still people who eat this set.

Qi Tong praised this American dog food brand that Zhang Zi'an had never seen before, and always called it the American standard. It was well received in the US market and sales grew very fast. However, when asked about technical details, he hesitated and talked about it, and continued to talk about the American standard. In contrast, he indignantly dissed domestic food safety issues and counted the major events in domestic food safety in recent years. The implication is nothing more than that, food in China is not safe, whether for people or for dogs.

It is really impossible to wash domestic food safety. After all, the country is too big, with a large population and a lot of life pressure. Everyone has sharpened their heads and found ways to make money, and some people have come up with bad ideas.

However, when it comes to dog food, both China and the United States are eating chickens, because pet food safety does not have a strict standard like human food safety. Although many American dog foods will indicate aafco's statement on the packaging bags, including the dog food sold by Qi Tong.

aafco is certified by the American Feed Management Association, which shows that the nutritional ingredients in this feed meet the standards, but they are limited to the nutritional ingredients, and people do not endorse the safety of the feed.

Besides, aafco is a civil organization, not an official organization established by the government, just like some toothpaste always says that the national dental defense team is certified. The members of the aafco committee also include representatives from feed manufacturers and raw material suppliers. Isn’t this the so-called “being both an athlete and a referee”?

In theory, feed safety is the responsibility of the US Food and Drug Administration, which means the US Food and Drug Administration. However, the US Food and Drug Administration is almost unable to control people's food safety and has no time to manage pet food safety.

It is not once or twice that there are problems with feed in the United States, and it happens almost every year. Because the United States has a recall system, once a problem is found, it will recall the batches with problems, which seem to be very responsible. However, it is because of problems that it is recalled. There are even cases of metal and plastic found in big brands of dog food. If it were domestic dog food, it would have been hacked to death.

In addition to food safety, many dog ​​food brands, whether in China or in the United States, do not necessarily meet the standards in the nutritional contents, in other words, they are written by x**.

Some people wonder why the nutritional ingredients fail to meet the standards after passing the aafco certification. That is because of the batch problem. This is the case in the processed food industry. The raw materials in the first batch are good, and the processed food can meet the standards. Later, in order to reduce the cost, the raw materials or the origin of the raw materials may not meet the standards. Aafco can only certify the first batch of products sent for testing. It is impossible for each batch of products to be re-certified, and neither manpower nor material resources are allowed.

Zhang Zian, who is a member of the pet industry and has been to the United States, understands these things. It is understandable that even people’s food safety may not be 100% reliable. How can you demand that pet food safety be 100% reliable? As long as you are a human, you will make mistakes, and the same is true for manufacturers.

However, the ingredients of this dog material are ambiguous, and the coverage of this by-produts is too wide.

by-produts, by-products, scraps, all have the same meaning here.

What is scraps?

How to define scraps?

A chicken ham sausage for people. The first two in the ingredients list are chicken and starch. This is fine, but the chicken pack does not include chicken butt, chicken feet, internal organs, bone meal ground into chicken head, chicken skin, and lymphatic tissue on the neck?

Are the above considered chicken or scraps?

From the back of the chicken belly, where exactly is the "chicken butt"?

If you look carefully on the website for processed food, you may see labels such as "Made from whole beef" and "Made from pure chicken breast" on the details page. If you are not lying, it often means that the product is of better quality, and of course the price will be more expensive than products without similar labels, and it is much more expensive.

However, pet feed is basically not found with similar marks. Even if there is one, the price will go up to heaven. Not everyone is willing to spend such a high price to buy cat food and dog food. Feed manufacturers will not use such feed as the main force for sales, because the public cannot afford it.

Even so, the word by-produts is too vague. In extreme cases, this may mean that the feed ingredients may contain meat from the five major sources of meat, cattle, sheep, pig, fish, and chicken.

Not only China has black-hearted workshops, but also the United States, but the United States has also been exposed for the scandal of using stray cats and dogs to make pet feed.

The pet feed in Europe is slightly better, but it is only slightly better. After all, the mad cow disease that year was spread from Europe. The reason for its spread was that the feed processing factory ground the cattle's internal organs and bones into powder to make feed and feed them to the cattle to supplement calcium, but it contains the internal organs and bones of the sick and dead cattle.

Now people know that mad cow disease can be transmitted from cows to people, so they dare not do this anymore, because cows are traditional food for humans and people will eat cows. If people are greedy for small profits and people will face sky-high fines and prisons.

However, the exposed American black-hearted factory is still using dead stray cat and dog corpses to make cat food and dog food. There are many benefits, which can significantly reduce price costs and increase calcium and nutritional content.

As Marx said, when capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and dirty things. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it becomes active; if there is 50% profit, it takes risks; for 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, or even the danger of snatching his head.

The American black-hearted factory believes that cats and dogs are not traditional foods for humans. People do not eat cats and dogs. Even if there is a problem, it will only affect the lifespan of cats and dogs at most, and will not affect people, and there is no danger of being hung on their heads.

This cleverness is not wrong, this theory is applicable to developed Western countries.

But...the national conditions are different.

Zhang Zian inexplicably remembered the people who had suddenly had strange diseases at the waste purchase station. That night, from their tone and actions, as well as carefully prepared pots and seasonings, it seemed that this was not the first time they tried to slaughter stray dogs and eat dog meat. Anyway, stray dogs are uncertain, and even if they were fewer quietly, no one cared about it, or they thought that the reduction in the number of stray dogs was a good thing and was much safer for humans.

Is there any connection between the strange disease and the dog meat they eat...?
