Tambi Renee Reports on Salvage Food and Your Pets



As pet owners, we all aim to feed our pets high quality food that will meet all of their nutritional needs. What most of us have never considered is the fact that processed pet foods for sale in supermarkets and pet stores could be putting our pets at risk. Tambi Renee has shed light on the dangerous state of pet food today and the use of salvage food products by pet food manufacturers with little to no oversight by the state or national government.

According to Tambi Renee, there are salvage food companies that work to resell what are known as “distressed” food products and turn a profit for themselves and the company where the products originated. Distressed food products have been exposed to temperature extremes, smoke, water, or other potential contaminates that have made them unsuitable for human consumption. They may also have lost their labels and become unidentifiable. What Tambi Renee points out is that these foods, through salvage companies, remain in the pipeline as food products for pets.

What is particularly disheartening about the resale of distressed food products, says Tambi Renee, is that pet food companies don’t have to label their products to note that they contain what is essentially waste. Tambi Renee says this is a fraud against consumers and a crime against pets. Now is the time to carefully look at what you feed your pet, says Tambi Renee. What are the ingredients? Where did they come from? If you can’t answer those questions, Tambi Renee says, it may be time to change pet foods or embrace a raw diet for your pets.

Tambi Renee Wants Consumers to Remain Aware of Food Recalls



You are what you eat. How many times did you hear that growing up as a child? Of course, if you eat a lot of string cheese you are not going to become a stringy cheesy monster, but too much imbalance does impact overall health. What is more, the quality of food you consume impacts health, too. Years ago, the United States and other countries developed regulations and organizations to ensure food manufacturers use real food products and practice safe food practices.

Food contamination is a great concern, especially as people go outside the home to eat. You may be suspicious if you get sick after eating out that something about the food was bad. But it doesn’t take a restaurant to create food safety hazards. Tambi Renee tells people that bad food can come straight from the slaughterhouse. 

Tambi Renee asks people to pay attention to all cases of food poisoning. Oftentimes, widespread cases make media news, but Tambi Renee suggests people go online and look for any food recalls as often as possible. Food warnings and recalls aren’t necessarily tied to meat, either. Tambi Renee points to the cantaloupe that led to the hospitalization of many people.

For safety’s sake, Tambi Renee asks people to take food recalls seriously. It is easy to think bad things happen to other people and not yourself, but Tambi Renee knows those people thought the same things about themselves. Tambi Renee also asks consumers to pay attention to pet food recalls too.

Pet Food Concerns Matter to Tambi Renee



There are many social matters Tambi Renee remains aware of but one of her recent concerns is the frequency of recalls in pet food due to confirmed or potential Salmonella poisoning. Food safety is important to Tambi Renee because it affects the quality of life for people and animals. Just recently, hundreds have been affected by the chicken processing plants in California. The Salmonella contaminated chicken has made over two hundred people sick and was consumed by both people and animals.

 Tambi Renee remains focused on a whole issue of pet food matters. One of her focuses is the type of food people feed their animals. Obviously, the healthier foods are those that most closely resemble the animals’ natural diet. For some, this means more animal protein and less of the animal-byproduct people have become increasingly aware of. Similarly, Tambi Renee wants people to know that giving treats to animals is fine, but human foods should not be given as treats because some may be potentially hazardous. 

The quality of food truly does matter. Humans want to eat the best quality foods possible and the same would be said for animals. Tambi Renee hopes pet owners pay attention to pet food recalls. If there is a health concern tied to pet food, pet owners should heed all warnings. Some of the products recalled in the last year include: dry dog food, heartworm medication, pet jerky, and frozen pet food. Tambi Renee wants pet owners to be aware of pet food recalls because across the nation, there is a recall nearly every month of the year.

Health Issues Hold Significant Importance to Tambi Renee



Anyone who has ever suffered from food poisoning doesn’t want to suffer the pain or agony again. People are often at the mercy of food processors and handlers when it comes to certain foods, but some measures can ensure food safety. Equally important for consumers is the health of animals and the quality of food put into their animals’ pet food. 

Tambi Renee takes food safety for both humans and pets seriously. With cases of food poisoning every year, it is disheartening to know that even modern facilities cannot or do not do all in their power to prevent food contamination. Even organizations meant to regulate the food handling process differ in their individual practices. Recently, a nationwide Salmonella outbreak based on a California factory has poisoned hundreds of people.

Tambi Renee once took for granted the quality and safety of her food. However, the more she researched into the subject matter, the more she came to realize the gaps and problems in our food safety system. With concerns about the quality of both human and pet food, Tambi Renee knew spreading information about the subject was important. 

Few things impact us as much as the cleanliness and quality of our food and water. Every year there are cases of Salmonella poisoning and Tambi Renee believes this is unacceptable. We do much as a society to equate nutrition with health and while diet plays a large part, the quality of food is equally important. Tambi Renee encourages people to pay closer attention to food safety issues. In terms of pets, she encourages people look at what is in pet food and check to see if there have been any recent recalls.

Tambi Renee Warns Against Corn in Pet Food



When it comes to pet food, there are many health risks and concerns that pet owners are often unaware of. Tambi Renee is an advocate for greater knowledge about pet food and how it is affecting your animals. One major issue with pet food is corn content and Goss’s Wilt. This bacterial infection occurs in corn, and as Tambi Renee asserts, it is found in pet foods more often than you may think. Tambi Renee believes that pet owners should inform themselves about Goss’s Wilt and avoid buying pet foods with high corn content to keep their animals safe.

What is Goss’s Wilt?

Goss’s Wilt is a type of bacterial infection that occurs in corn. While genetic engineering should keep corn safe from Goss’s Wilt, this harmful infection has been spreading in Midwestern corn crops recently. Tambi Renee knows that many pet foods contain corn ingredients, and the prevalence of Goss’s Wilt could be extremely harmful to your animals. Goss’s Wilt is linked to aflatoxins, which can contaminate your pet food and cause serious health problems, even leading to death.

Furthermore, as Tambi Renee has found, Goss’s Wilt has also been linked to glyphosate, a chemical that Monsanto uses in its products for weed control. This means that if corn produced by Monsanto ends up in your pet’s food, the consequences could be deadly. Tambi Renee recommends avoiding all pet foods that contain corn to keep your animals safe. According to Tambi Renee, pet owners should always check the labels on their pet’s food very carefully before purchasing.

The Truth About Pet Food Flavor: Tambi Renee



When buying pet food, pet food owners often seek out specific flavors that they know or believe their pets will enjoy. Tambi Renee has recently learned more about poor practices in the pet food industry when it comes to flavoring. As Tambi Renee has found, pet food flavors are often made with potentially harmful chemicals. In addition, pet food flavors are intending to entice pets into eating food that does not actually provide the proper nutrients. Learn more about pet food flavoring and how it could affect your pets.

Chemicals to Trick Your Pets

As Tambi Renee states, one of the main issues with pet food flavoring is the chemical additives used by companies to entice pets into eating cheap food. Many companies use additives such as pyrophosphates, which is used in cat food, to trick your pets into thinking that they are eating real food. According to Tambi Renee, this keeps your pets addicted to food that is not nutritionally valuable and could even be harmful to them.

For example, pyrophosphates are potentially harmful chemicals that can lead to a variety of health issues in humans such as vomiting, skin irritation, nosebleeds, and respiratory problems. Tambi Renee believes that if an ingredient is not good for humans, it should not be used for cats. For dogs, Tambi Renee has found that manufacturers focus on the dog’s sense of smell to entice them. This causes dogs to react positively to food that actually has little nutritional value, making owners such as Tambi Renee assume that the food is good.

Tambi Renee On Real Meat in Pet Food



There are many types of pet foods out there that advertise “real meat” in their products. However as Tambi Renee has found, this advertising is often misleading. From a survey conducted of a variety of pet food companies that use the “real meat” label, Tambi Renee found that the word “real” appears to mean something different for each and every company.

Tambi Renee saw that while some companies use “real” to mean no artificial products, others use “real” to refer to muscle tissue, meat meals, or no by-products. While consumers such as Tambi Renee may see the words “real meat” and assume their pets are getting food with the same quality of meat that humans eat, this is simply untrue.

Beware of False Advertising

When it comes to pet food with “real meat,” Tambi Renee states that you should always beware of false advertising. For example, while Blue Buffalo uses “real meat” to indicate actual meat rather than meat meals or by-products, Science Diet uses “real meat” simply as a marketing tool. Tambi Renee believes that false advertising such as this is incredibly harmful to pets because it means that pet owners are purchasing a product for their animals based on false assumptions about its health benefits.

Call Your Pet Food Company

Before feeding your animals any type of pet food that states “real meat” on the label, Tambi Renee asserts that you should always call the pet food company to find out what “real meat” really means. Tambi Renee states that if they respond evasively, you will know that their pet food is not up to par and should not be fed to your beloved pets.
