update from a cat breeder I'm in touch with from Sydney Australia;

I spent today at our annual feline health seminar and among other things the
issue of the Orijen was raised with one of the veterinary experts from the
University of Sydney. The latest news is that the problem with Orijen was
not caused by the radiation process which all important foods (pet or human)
are subjected to as part of the import requirements into Australia. Tests
are still being conducted on the dry food to determine the possible cause
but in all likelihood it is one of the ingredients used to make the dry
food. The product has been recalled from all sales outlets in Australia and I
expect that the manufacturers in Canada will issue a press release about
this when results of the tests become known.
