Heavy metal toxins included arsenic, cadmium, lead up to 4 -6 times maximum safe levels. In article full list of products with their toxin test results
I am not sure how much was actually done to solve this problem as the sources for their most contaminated products are still the same
In South Africa Packleader, the distributors of Acana and Orijen kept quiet, no notice to clients of danger or a recall of products and everything swept under the carpet.
This highlights the danger of trusting any pet food producer or distributor, especially when their only aim is profit. And only through independent studies and whistleblowers the truth comes out, NEVER from the pet food company
Fellow Pet Owners, Sadly, we are forced to announce yet another pet food toxicity problem. This Class Action Law Suit involves two brands of dog food made by Champion Pet Foods: Orijen and Acana.
