I'm glad they are checking but really, what are the odds that everyone who
manufactures bread bought the same product? It sounded to me like Menu
Foods bought most of the stuff. Even Purina, manufacturer of the Hill's
Science Diet line, only bought a small portion of it and (so far) has only
recalled the m/d feline version. You have to know, Purina makes a *lot* of
pet food!

Having said that, I used to buy Orowheat hamburger buns. In the 1980's
everyone thought whole wheat this, whole wheat that, oh so much better for
you! Until one day I actually read the label on the package. And it said
it contained *wood chips*. Um... excuse me. I'm not Euell Gibbons. Don't
care to eat a pine tree, thanks very much! They probably don't do that
anymore but I found it put me a bit off on buying anything with the Orowheat
(OroWHAT?!) name on the package! LOL
