Indictments Said To Be End Result of Tainted Pet Food Scandal
Indictments Said To Be End Result of Tainted Pet Food Scandal
Recent reports have indicated that a U.S. company and its owners, along with two Chinese nationals and their businesses, have been indicted in connection with last year's pet food scandal. Very tellingly, this was the same scandal in which imported wheat gluten contaminated with a toxic chemical contributed to the deaths of at least 14 cats and dogs and sickened hundreds more. As was announced on Wednesday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal grand jury indicted the defendants for their roles in importing the pet food ingredient, which was contaminated with melamine, a chemical commonly used to make plastics. The FDA went on record as stating that Melamine has no approved use in either pet or human food. Wheat gluten typically is used as a way to thicken certain pet foods. For interested persons, according to an FDA statement, indicted we ChemNutra, Inc., a Las Vegas company that buys food ingredients from China to sell to U.S. companies; along with ChemNutra owners Sally Qing Miller and her husband, Stephen Miller. Sally Qing Miller, a Chinese national, is controlling owner and president of ChemNutra; Stephen Miller is an owner and CEO of the U.S. firm. In addition, also indicted we Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co., LTD. (XAC), a Chinese firm that processes and exports plant proteins to the United States; Mao Linzhun, a Chinese national who is the owner and manager of XAC; Suzhou Textiles, Silk, Light Industrial Products, Arts and Crafts I/E Co. LTD. (SSC), a Chinese export broker that exports products from China to the United States; and Chen Zhen Hao, president of SSC.
