Nutro Products Inc. has denied that the company is being investigated by the FDA despite an anonymous FDA official affirming the investigation, according to an article on www.consumeraffairs.com .
But a spokesperson from the FDA denied the investigation as well, according to an article from Action News Detroit .
"Normally, we do not confirm or deny the existence of an
investigation," the spokesperson said to Action News. "In this
situation, though, it's unfair to the company to leave the
implication out there, so I want to state that there is no
investigation currently underway into Nutro products."
Rumors have been circulating on the Internet claiming that
Nutro made pets sick, but Nutro is assuring consumers
that its petfood is safe.
