EXCLUSIVE: Lab Reports Cyanuric Acid In Unrecalled Dry Food
May 24th, 2007

Itchmo has learned that a toxicology test reported the presence of cyanuric acid in an opened bag of what is alleged to be Iams Large Breed dry dog food.

According to the report obtained by Itchmo, (available on the site) the results have been certified by a forensic toxicologist. The testing method detects concentrations in excess of 0.1%. We have obtained a copy of the toxicology report and you can see for yourself. We have remove personal information for privacy reasons and a correct lot number was obtained.

We have contacted Iams and we’re waiting on their response. Iams Large Breed does not list rice protein concentrate or wheat gluten as ingredients.

We cannot stress this point enough: This test was performed on a sample from an opened bag. We do not know if this is an isolated case of contamination before or after the sale, or if it is widespread.

This information requires verification and we are asking for your help.

Itchmo is asking you to find an unopened 20 lb. bag of Iams Large Breed dry dog food that matches the lot number: 260608 70574173 F4 US30940 with the expiration date of 6/26/08.

If you find an unopened bag, please email us at tips@itchmo.com and we will provide further instructions. If it’s the right bag, we will pay for the cost of the bag of food, shipping and testing. There will be no cost to you.

If an unopened bag is found and tested, we will release the results as soon as they become available regardless of the outcome.

Do you have these results? My dogs are both on this formula, but mysteriously, both have refused to eat it suddenly.

I found no mention of this on the FDA site. Just what the heck is Ichmo? Is it just another of those scare tactic sites?

Itchmo is a pet blog that has kept many of up-to-date on the recalls. It's www.itchmo.com .
The update on the Iams is that consumers have managed to locate a couple of unopened bags and they have sent it off for testing -- no news on results yet.

I was just speaking to a guy who almost lost 2 dogs from cyanuric acid in Nutro High energy. He sent the food to be tested to an independent Laboratory on his own rather than return it. Once it's gone it's your word against them. The vet actually said maybe he put it in himself. Why would you poison your own dogs?
