Chinanews, Beijing, Apr.3 – The General Administration of Quality Supervision1, Inspection2 and Quarantine (AQSIQ) announced on Monday that China had not found any record of exporting poisonous pet food material to Canada or the United States.

 

Recently, many US media reported that the pet food made by Menu Foods, a company headquartered in Canada, contained a poisonous substance called aminopterin, which had caused the death of some pet dogs and cats in the United States. Right now, US investigators3 presumed that the poisonous material might have come from wheat bran, the material used to make pet foods, as some wheat bran might be contaminated by rat poisoning pills that contain aminopterin element. Last week, US Today quoted spokesperson from Menu Foods as saying that the company imported its wheat bran mainly from three countries, including China.

 

In responding to this claim, AQSIQ declared that so far, China had not exported any wheat or wheat bran as pet food material to Canada or the United States. Chinese agricultural department had not registered for the use of aminopterin, nor had China allowed such substance to be used in rat poisoning pills. China has nothing to do with the pet poisoning incident occurring in the United States, said AQSIQ.

 

Aminopterin is usually used for making anti-tumor drugs. Chinese agricultural department has never permitted it to be used as a pesticide4 or a rat poisoning pill. Therefore any wheat or wheat products made in China should not have contained, or been contaminated by such substance, AQSIQ said.

 

Information from various local quarantine departments shows that by March 29, 2007, China had not exported any wheat or wheat bran to Canada or the United States.
