• Melamine Recall

  In March of 2007, following several pet deaths, distributors announced the largest pet food recall ever. After investigation, it was revealed that the tainted food contained wheat gluten contaminated with melamine.

  On May 30, 2008, Menu Foods Income Fund announced that the New Jersey District Court had approved a preliminary settlement in the more than 100 class action lawsuits filed against suppliers of the tainted pet food. The proposed settlement would provide $24 million to reimburse pet owners for medical costs they incurred as a result of the contaminated food. A hearing for final approval of the settlement was scheduled for October 14, 2008.
