According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS), Heartland Catfish Company, an Itta Bena, Miss. establishment recalled 69,016 pounds, of catfish products believed to be contaminated with leucomalachite green. The items were shipped to retail stores in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Texas, and Vermont. The leucomalachite green (malachite green) was discovered in products during a routine FSIS sampling on March 8th. Malachite green is a topical fungicide that has been implemented in certain countries to treat external fungal and parasitic infections in fish and is also used as a fish hatchery disinfectant. It has been banned in several countries, including the U.S. and Canada, due to its supposed mutagenic properties. @ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2018/recall-020-2018-release

Two lawsuits were filed against Gravy Train dog food because the products are alleged to contain pentobarbital, a chemical used in dogs and cats euthanasia. “Pentobarbital is a Class II controlled substance, and there is no safe or set level for pentobarbital in pet food,” the Gravy Train class action lawsuit says. “If it is present, the food is adulterated.” The pentobarbital contained in Gravy Train dog food may have gotten into the product because the food is made from rendered animal products. Rendered products come from a process that converts animal tissues into feed ingredients, including tissues from animals that were euthanized, decomposed or diseased. @ https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/837904-gravy-train-dog-food-poisonous-class-action-claims/
