]German dioxin scandal: Animal feed company admits use of technical fat
//05 Jan 2011
The German animal feed company Harles & Jentzsch, headquartered in Uetersen, Germany, has admitted using industrial fats in the manufacturing of animal feed, which has led to an emergency situation in Germany in which over 1,000 farms have been quarantined as a precautionary measure.

The fat Harles & Jentzsch used came from a biofuels company Petrotec. Technical fat, like e.g. reused frying fat, can usually not be used for feed or food. For feed, only animal fat or vegetable fats can be used.

Technical fats can be used as e.g. biofuels or as raw materials for cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. It isn't meant to be used for consumption – hence rather strong quality demands exist for fats used in feed or food.

Byproduct
On Tuesday, a spokesman at Harles & Jentzsch said the company used fatty acids for the manufacturing of 527 tonnes of animal feed. The fatty acids were a byproduct of biodiesel and can be used for the manufacturing of lubricants.

The company said it was convinced that these fatty acids could also be used in animal feed. The German agricultural minister Ilse Aigner has now announced legislation to compel feed manufacturers to separate these products.

Reactions
The German Farmers' Union (DBV) also said the case shows the importance of a chain wide quality system. As the contamination happened within an already existing quality system
Dadurch, customers could be warned straightaway and trade in compound feeds could be stopped. Still, it should be prevented, the DBV said, that situations like these lead to farmers going bust.

In a debate about food safety, Johannes Remmel, North Rhine Westphalia's economy minister, said action needs to be taken. Raw materials for biodiesel and feed should not be manufactured at the same location.

"There were no indications that the suspect ingredient or any potentially tainted feed had been exported, he added."

An interesting article 1luckystar; however as you say, there is no evidence that the ZooPlus food is contaminated.

If you look back over the years there has been countless food related scares. Salmonella, BSE, bird flu etc. They all come and go.

All I know is that my cat is loving all of her food and treats, although does anyone know why she has started to glow and begin growing an extra ear?

is this a troll? i notice that they registered january 2011...

i think that these forums should be made private so only registered members can view them. it angers me to notice that only a minority of people viewing the threads are actually registered.. seems that outsiders may be the ones viewing the threads and abusing these type of things then contributing nothing. for all we know we could have people viewing these threads then mass ordering when chances like these come up which just ruins it for those who are just innocently looking for a bargain

i have shopped with zooplus for years and found them excellent. My family made a few orders with the code back when it first came out and the orders came within a few days. Beautiful items, nice welcome code but we did not abuse it and as such i did not post it on here. I hope the people who used it did not abuse it and have found this website and will shop from it again.

My rats love their new sputnic and treats and my sisters guinea pig was snuggled in a new bed on christmas day.

i hope the 54 orders was a troll..if not...shame on you
