I don't believe it was a case of the recalled contaminated pet food
being resold for animal feed, I think it was the waste from those
original production runs i.e. broken kibble that fell through the QC
grading screen and leftover material from extruder cleaning that were
sold for animal feed.

I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt a company facing legal headaches
from a recall would be dumb enough to resell the recalled product, nor
would a farm be dumb enough to purchase the recalled product.
