Investigation into contaminated fish feed grows
(CNN) -- Federal officials said Thursday that the industrial compound melamine, which is suspected of causing the deaths of thousands of pets nationwide, has been found in fish feed at a hatchery in Oregon and may have been sent to nearly 200 other companies.
The feed, found at Marion Forks Hatchery in Idanha, Ore., was used as a "starter diet" for juvenile salmon and trout, said Dr. David Acheson, assistant commissioner for food protection at the Food and Drug Administration.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said it contacted the manufacturer, Skettring Co., and found that the same lot of feed was shipped to hatcheries in Willamette, Gnat Creek, Cole Rivers, Butte Falls and Leaburg, Ore.
"Hatchery managers immediately discontinued using any remaining fish feed from the lot in question and notified the FDA," the department said in a news release.
In all, Acheson said, Skettring has 198 domestic customers "that may or may not have received feed that contained the suspect lot." (Posted 5:29 p.m.)

Pets that became sickened or died ingested larger dose of melamine because pet food makes up their entier diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition, pork and poultry make up only a part of the human diet so the amount anyone might eat would be very small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
