Wellness家禽產品為人類食用等級


新聞6月8號爆出FDA已禁止美國大藥廠Pfizer(輝瑞)
使用飼料雞用藥(3-Nitro drug),
(附上新聞連結:http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/08/drugs-pfizer-nitro-idUSN0826081020110608)
布媽於6月11號寫信給wellness公司詢問Wellness
旗下產品的雞肝是否遭受此次事件(無機砷)的汙染,
以下是布媽的簡略翻譯。



Wellness原廠的回答是:

Wellpet選用人食用等級雞肝和雞肉的來源,
家禽供應商也是經過本公司嚴格篩選過的。
家禽供應商所餵養雞隻飼料,
符合當地洲政府及聯邦政府的品質標準(對環境友善的),
使我們能夠持續提供安全且優質品質的寵物食品。


包括:
  1.飼料不使用生長激素
  2.使用優質飼料來飼養動物
  3.家禽飼養方式是對環境友善的飼養方式以及人道飼養

Wellpet要求所有的肉品供應商(原料),不得含有超量抗生素及不必要的抗生素。
如果含有抗生素,則必須在訓練有素的獸醫嚴格監督下使用,並根據美國農業部和FDA的所有規例,保持在所有飼養動物的在最好的健康狀態,確保這些肉品來源是完全安全的。

Wellpet所有的家禽在宰殺時,皆已無殘留抗生素。

我會通過的信息和鏈接發送給我們的品管部門及產品開發部門。
WellPet我們致力於提供最優質的寵物食品和治療提供。
我們的專業工作人員不斷改進我們的產品
以確保Wellpet產品可口及營養為您的寵物

Dear Wellness,
I was shocked by a latest news, which was mentioned that the chicken liver contains carcinogens - inorganic arsenic, reported by FDA. I'm wondering if all the wellness canned food, which the ingredients has been added chicken livers, is safe?
Does wellness pet canned food has been contaminated by toxic chicken liver?
I have one dog and one cat, they are all wellness canned food lovers. And being a owner, I'm really concerned about my pets' health.

Dear ***,
Thank you for taking the time to write about Wellness® canned cat food.

Our chicken livers originate from chicken for human consumption.

We source our poultry from partner suppliers who are able to meet our exacting quality standards – standards that enable us to deliver consistently safe, premium-quality food for pets, including no use of growth hormones and raising animals on a regular diet of quality feed.  Our suppliers also must comply with local, state and federal environmental standards.  As such, our poultry has been raised in the most environmentally friendly and humane way possible.  We understand and share your concern.  All of the suppliers of the raw materials that go into WellPet products are aware of our high quality standards.  We ask that they do not supply materials that contain excessive and unnecessary amounts of antibiotics.  If antibiotics are required to keep the animals in the best possible health, they are used under the strict supervision of highly trained veterinarians and in accordance with all USDA and FDA regulations to ensure these products are completely safe.

All of our poultry is antibiotic free at time of harvest.

I will pass the information and links you have sent us to our Quality Assurance and Product Development department.  At WellPet we are committed to providing the highest quality pet foods and treats available.  Our expert staff of engineers is continuously improving our products to ensure that they are tasty and nutritious for your pet.

I hope this information helps to answer your question, please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Thanks again for contacting us.
