Yes. On May 18, 2007, FDA became aware of a source of melamine contamination within the United States, unrelated to pet food. Tembec BTLSR Inc. of Toledo, Ohio, and Uniscope Inc. of Johnstown, Colo., had been producing binding agents containing melamine for use in making pelleted feed for cattle, sheep, goats, fish, and shrimp. Tembec, a contract manufacturer for Uniscope, added melamine as part of the formulation of the products to improve the binding properties of pelleted feed.

In November 2006, the first shipment of a product labeled as wheat gluten known to be contaminated with melamine or its related compounds arrived in the United States. In July of 2006, the first shipment of a product labeled as rice protein concentrate known to be contaminated arrived in the United States. FDA personnel went to China in April 2007 to work with Chinese government officials to find out how the contamination may have occurred and how to prevent it in the future.

FDA has traced ingredients contaminated with melamine and melamine-related compounds to two firms in China: Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology, which shipped a product labeled as wheat gluten that was found to contain melamine and melamine-related compounds Binzhou Futian Biological Technology, which shipped a product labeled as rice protein concentrate that was found to contain melamine and melamine-related compounds

Yes. Some hogs, chickens, and fish were processed and went to market before it was known that they were fed feed containing melamine and related compounds.

Based on the information FDA has, it appears that melamine was added to the products handled by the two Chinese suppliers to increase the apparent protein content in those products. In April 2007, pet food manufacturers in South Africa recalled dry cat and dog food made with corn gluten that was contaminated with melamine and imported from China. There is no evidence that contaminated corn gluten was imported in the United States for pet food production.

The toxin found in laboratory tests of the tainted food products has been identified as melamine, which was found in wheat gluten in samples of the recalled lots—and not aminopterin, as was earlier thought. Since April 18, we have learned that melamine has also been found in other protein supplements used in pet food in the U.S., such as rice protein concentrate. In addition, melamine has been found in corn gluten used in dry pet food in South Africa.
