Hi from the Uk
An interesting article but... had experience of mycotoxins in a uk so called cereal free cat food that made some of my cats very ill and so fataly so I am wondering when someone will actually look into the MPLs properly regardong tolerances for cats. I am aware there is not much data regarding cats for obvious reasons but there has been articles cited in the EC papers that T2 in particular is lethal to cats - in that they cannot glucoranide as well as most mammals can
Because there are no PMPLs set down for many of these mycotoxins pet food manufacturers are getting away with selling their food with these harmful toxins in. I am personally involved in a lagl battle single handed regarding this issue right now.
I want the EC to sort this matter out
The toxins found in the cat food we fed our cats were
Zearalenone - T2 HT 2 Fumonosim B1 B2 - 5 different Ergot alkaloids - Ochratoxin Aflatoxin - all i one food.
Is there anyone on here that will take notice of the poor cats to eat this junk? And prepared to look into this and do something about it? Without MPLs there is no legislation for the local authorities to bring a prosecution and the pet food manufactuerers get away with it.
These toxins were found in a so called cereal free dry cat food - seems to me it was not so.
Does anyone know of a specific test to look for cereal content?
