Consumer Affairs.com is nothing but a blog. It's not part of the noted Consumer Reports. The response to the freedom of information act was; we don't comment on on-going investigations. They Consumer Affairs made the conclusion an investigation must be on-going. While I am as suspicious as the next person, perhaps even more so because of age, past experiences and some knowledge myself of how our great government works, I'm pretty confident in what both the FDA and Nutro told me. Of course I'll keep my eye on it. I buy Nutro by the pallet (50 bags), delivered every 30 to 40 days. All, except a couple of our geriatric dogs are on it. While at any given time a high drive working dog can develop loose stool because of stress, heat and hard work, I've seen no problems with the dogs we have. I don't know why FDA would deny an investigation of Nutro is underway, if in fact one was ongoing. What could they possibly gain. I explained to them the number and types of dogs and why I was so concerned. The cost of training, loss of dogs notwithstanding, the loss of coverage would devasting. They assured me, no investigation was underway. While I'm not going to just let it die, I'm certainly more relaxed about the situation than when I first read the story.
