I believe your attempt to bring all areas of this contamination to simplistic terms for the general population was effective. This by no means has demonstrated that the FDA has any clue as to what it is doing and or has any control what so ever regarding food imports. The FDA has no ability to check or inspect any food items coming into the USA and this fact should be the leading story not their protocal for voluntary compliance by import companies.

It is very true that raisins are toxic to dogs. It doesn't have anything to do with the process that happens when grapes turn to raisins though. Grapes are toxic to the dog as well. I have heard it was actually discovered up here in the wine country, Napa, California. Dogs would scavange around the vineyards and get sick. Your dogs were probably not affected too negatively due to the small amount they consumed. Same thing with chocolate, they need to have a lot before it causes serious damage. Thanks for writing! Best, Natasha Hi!

Is that really true? I have feed my dogs grapes in the past and they survived. Is there a process that happens when grapes are dried? If so.....does that mean dried cranberries would be toxic as well? I was told by a friend that raisins are toxic to dogs. Is that really true?
