Another 15 varieties of pet food have been added to the long list of recalled pet foods.

Royal Canin recalled pet foods are: seven Kasco dry dog food and cat foods and eight Sensible Choice dog foods.

The company took action after tests revealed traces of a melamine derivative in the Chinese rice protein concentrate they had received from their supplier, Cereal Byproducts of Illinois.

On May 4th, Cereal Byproducts recalled their rice protein concentrate that was received from Chinese supplier Binzhou Futain Biology Technology Co. Ltd after the FDA had found melamine and melamine derivatives in the food.

The company states they shipped the tainted rice protein to three unnamed companies between July 19, 2006 and March 14, 2007. Two of the three companies recalled their contaminated foods on April 19, 2007.
