Marion Nestle, acclaimed author of Food Politics, now tells
the gripping story of how, in early 2007, a few telephone
calls about sick cats set off the largest recall of consumer
products in U.S. history and an international crisis over
the safety of imported goods ranging from food to
toothpaste, tires, and toys. Nestle follows the trail of
tainted pet food ingredients back to their source in China
and along the supply chain to their introduction into feed
for pigs, chickens, and fish in the United States, Canada,
and other countries throughout the world. What begins as a
problem "merely" for cats and dogs soon becomes an issue of
tremendous concern to everyone. Nestle uncovers unexpected
connections among the food supplies for pets, farm animals,
and people and identifies glaring gaps in the global
oversight of food safety.
