Melamine Cat Food

Answer: Good question, with a two-part answer: Melamine bowls should not harm your cats as far as the toxicity we're seeing in the recalled cat foods. The investigation into contaminated pet food has focused on melamine contamination of ingredients imported from China, such as wheat gluten, rice protein. the previous melamine in pet food was not in the dried milk so you have to be concerned even if the pet food doesn't have dried milk. Once the contaminants were identified, the reason they ended up in pet food was clear, Melamine and cyanuric acid falsely show up as proteins in certain tests.
