Mastery Pet Food

We have reasons to think that the Pet Food brand Mastery, produced by DogN´Cat International in France, contents some kind of poison! As today, several cats have been put to sleep because of this and some dogs to. We have several case verified so far!

This case has been going on since December 2005! And it will go on and on, because we will not give up.

As it seams now there was no Melamine in the food. We did a test at SVA in Sweden. Negative, Melamine less than > 2,5 mg/kg. But we will continue with other tests until we find out whats wrong? What kind of poison it is!? We decided to go to the bottom about this, even if ít will take some time and several tests! The facts is to be found and this is going to be public!

A few months ago the Cat magazine "Kattliv" in Sweden published one ad from Virbac without asking us about the background and the truth!? We will keep printing information here about this case in the nearest future. If you have the number of this magazine you can see for yourself. Number 4 - 2009, page 61. On the top of all, there is absolutely no legal ground for this in Sweden. Then Virbac them self payed for this add, strange if you think about the text in the add. There only one reason to do this: Miss credit towards Nutrena.

New info about Mastery Pet Food.
 
We still have a few open bags of Mastery Cat Food here. They are four and a half year old. They have been stored in room temperature for the last six months! Still it looks like it was brand new. No mold, no insect's no nothing that shows the age. This tells me that there is something very wrong in this food. Something that keep food from getting old. It´s some kind of poison that's for sure. we will find out, sooner or later. Aflatoxin is next in line for a test.

Other pet food that I have been working with (import) during a period of 23 years, usually get mouldy before the end of best before, particularly if stored in room temperature. Also insect's of different kind usually show up. This is not the case with Mastery Pet Food. I think it will manage a few years more without getting old.
Please contact us if you have anything to tell us about Mastery Pet Food.

We are going to the next step now and start testing this food regarding Mykotoxin and Aflatoxin

A mykotoxin
is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by an organism of the fungus kingdom, including
mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. [1][2] The term 'mycotoxin' is usually reserved for the toxic
chemical products produced by fungi that readily colonize crops.[1] Most fungi are aerobic
(use oxygen) and are found almost everywhere in extremely small quantities due to the minute size of their spores. They consume organic matter wherever humidity and temperature are sufficient. One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins and/or the same mycotoxin as another species. [3]

Where conditions are right, fungi proliferate into colonies and mycotoxin levels become high. Mycotoxins can appear in the food chain as a result of fungal infection of crops, either by being eaten directly by humans, or by being used as livestock feed. Mycotoxins greatly resist decomposition or being broken down in digestion, so they remain in the food chain in meat and dairy products.Even temperature treatments, such as cooking and freezing, do not destroy mycotoxins.

Aflatoxin

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that are produced by many species of Aspergillus, a fungus, most notably Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins are toxic and among the most carcinogenic substances known.[1] After entering the body, aflatoxins are metabolized by the liver to a reactive intermediate, aflatoxin M1, an epoxide.

Aflatoxin-producing members of Aspergillus are common and widespread in nature. They can colonize and contaminate grain before harvest or during storage. Host crops are particularly susceptible to infection by Aspergillus following prolonged exposure to a high humidity environment or damage from stressful conditions such as drought, a condition which lowers the barrier to entry. The native habitat of Aspergillus is in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and it invades all types of organic substrates whenever conditions are favorable for its growth. Favorable conditions include high moisture content (at least 7%) and high temperature.

Crops which are frequently affected include cereals (maize, sorghum, pearl millet, rice, wheat), oilseeds (peanut soybean, sunflower, cotton), spices (chile peppers, black pepper, coriander, turmeric, ginger), and tree nuts (almond, pistachio, walnut, coconut, brazil nut).

In Australia they have found a special kind of Chews for dogs wich seams to be contaminated. They don´t know yet what it is. This Chews is produced by Virbac, the owner of DogNCat International, producer of Mastery Pet Food!

This products goes under the name VeggiDent DOG CHEWS made by Virbac. This ingrediens are very simlular to ingredients in Pet Food.

The investigation in Australien is done by Dr Linda Fleeman. Senior Lecturer in Small Animal Medicine from the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney.

Everyone that's own a pet, dog or cat, I am sure you remember the huge scandal in USA and Canada in 2007! Then we thought that why should Europe be excluded from this? Since there is a lot of Pet Food - Manufactures in Europe who are buying ingredient's from China. Even USA and Canada is huge export countries to Europe, and among them is Sweden.

To all Pet-Owners! Have you got a pet that was hurt by this food? Or this VeggiDent DOG CHEWS made by Virbac. Please send us one email and tell us your story! nutrena.europe@telia.com or chris@cacanas.se
