That's exactly what I've been thinking.. that they only scrambled to get the recall underway when it became apparent that they were on their way to being outed by Procter & Gamble.

They'd been receiving complaints since December of last year, and knew enough to halt manufacturing of the tainted foods by 3/6, yet no public warnings were issued until Friday.. 'coincidentally' the very same day that P&G came forward. Menu was also obviously unprepared at the time the recall was issued, with no information as to which products were potentially dangerous being offered until the next morning. Even then, the list was woefully inadequate and failed to cover numerous batches of suspect food- including that which sickened Tyson.

Kudos to P&G for recalling when they did.. if they hadn't, I probably would've had no idea that my cat was being poisoned by his food. In fact, had he been treated at the vet's and survived, I probably would have 'rewarded' him with more of the same when he returned home- seeing as he absolutely loved the pouches I'd bought. I've read multiple stories of people doing just that- and, following the second round of exposures to the contaminated foods, their pets died.

Shame on Menu.
