11
On-Site Investigation
• Within 24 hours
• Search for other causes of contamination
• Tracebacks and Traceforwards
– 100 different brand name products involved
![Page 12: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
FCC Discovery of Melamine
• FDA Forensic Chemistry Center
(Cincinnati, OH)
• Melamine discovered in pet food and
wheat gluten ingredient
• Melamine confirmed by FDA field labs in
over 130 of 210 initial samples collected
by field staff
![Page 13: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Cornell University Analysis
• Testing by Cornell, found melamine in the urine
and kidneys of cats that were part of the
manufacturer's pet food taste test study
• Possible link to pet deaths
![Page 14: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Additive Effect Discovered
• Melamine is relatively non-toxic
• Interactions of melamine and related compounds examined
• Collaboration with veterinarians, toxicologists, pathologists
• Combination of melamine and cyanuric acid react to form crystals in the urine and kidney tissue, leading to kidney failure
![Page 15: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

16
Use in Food Producing Animals
• Contaminated pet food was used in animal
feed for food-producing animals (hogs,
poultry, fish)
• FDA coordinated with USDA to determine
risks and implement control strategies
![Page 17: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Human Food Consumption
Risks
• A safety/risk assessment was prepared by
FDA in collaboration with USDA/FSIS,
CDC, EPA, and DHS
• Worst case scenario for potential exposure
determined
![Page 18: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Human Food Consumption
Risks
• Melamine compounds do not accumulate in the body of animals (rapidly excreted in urine)
• No evidence of illness in the animals that ate contaminated feed
• No reports of illness in people from consuming foods that may have contained melamine or its related compounds
![Page 19: Melamine in Pet Food: FDA’s Response€¦ · Wheat Gluten/Rice Protein Traced to China/Import Investigations Begin Melamine Also Discovered in Rice Protein Traceforwards Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052009/601f5bf323738a7d1815bd90/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Human Food Consumption
Risks
• FDA requested CDC to use its surveillance network to monitor for signs of human illness although risk of illness was low
• CDC surveillance did not show an increase in kidney failure (the most likely expected health outcome)
