Why do some public accounts say that Desire dog food contains euthanasia ingredients?

On May 7, 2018, Desire discovered that one of the raw material suppliers of its own factory in the United States (DogStar) had a batch of beef fat that contained low levels of pentobarbital, which did not meet the standards of Desire products. After learning about it, Canadian Champion Pet Food Company decided to immediately terminate the cooperative relationship with this supplier through nutritionists, food safety experts and raw material procurement departments, and stated that this batch of beef would never be used in subsequent production processes. Fat as raw material.

Why didn’t the FDA recall it?

After the incident, Crave immediately found an independent third-party laboratory to test the food. The test results showed that the Crave food did not contain pentobarbital. At the end of May 2018, the FDA expressed high recognition of our handling methods, further verified the safety of our products, and reached an official conclusion with "no corrective measures required", expressing its desire that all products do not need to be recalled.

Is China’s desire safe?

Test results from third-party institutions showed that pentobarbital (euthanasia ingredient) was not detected in either American Desire or Canadian Desire. As a Chinese consumer, as long as the products containing anti-counterfeiting labels are purchased from authorized online stores or authorized physical stores in the Chinese market, the food is 100% safe and meets the desired food safety, nutrition, and regulatory standards.

No pentobarbital was found in Craving products after testing. The FDA also confirmed the food safety of Craving. Beef fat raw materials are only included in the red meat series, and no pentobarbital was detected in the red meat series products. Contains pentobarbital.

Original Predation Desire products have 2 self-owned factories around the world:

1. NorthStar®: located in Canada, using local Canadian raw ingredients, and its products are sold in global markets except the United States. [Authorized online stores and physical stores in the Chinese market, products with anti-counterfeiting codes are all from Canadian factories]
2.DogStar®: located in the United States, using local raw ingredients in the United States, and the products are only sold in the United States market, South America and some Japanese markets .

Products manufactured in the United States have never been sold through formal channels (double-label anti-counterfeiting codes) in the Chinese market. At the same time, due to national policy reasons, the red meat series of Canadian factories are not allowed to be imported according to regulations.

Official Statement of Primordial Prey Hungry


The first person suspected of containing pentobarbital was a local Hungry dog ​​in the United States. Food, and it is dog food with beef ingredients. The double-standard products sold in China are all from Canada, and they are not from the same origin or category at all.
Canadian original factories are absolutely in compliance with standards and have undergone strictInspection, from production to packaging, are all checked by the quality control department. The American version is eager to be sold only in the United States. However, pentobarbital was not detected in the American version of Crave...
The only cat foods that contain beef ingredients are Crave's Red Meat and Tundra. These two models were no longer allowed to be officially imported into the country a long time ago. Now there is only chicken and six types of fish. There are no problems.
The false articles exposing Desire and Aikenna have been deleted due to alleged infringement.

If you are really worried about the source of your cat and dog food, you can check the packaging bag. If there is a maple leaf icon displayed at the bottom of the packaging bag, it means it is produced in Canada.

Finally, I would like to say that there is no absolutely perfect food. Craving is not suitable for all furry children. If you have never fed it before, it is recommended to buy a trial pack first. It is true that some children cannot digest and absorb food with such a high meat content. Changing the food requires a longer transition period to allow the stomach and intestines to slowly adapt. If they still have loose and soft stools, you can try Aikena (the low-quality formula from the same manufacturer) Version).

What is suitable is the best.
