Wilbur-Ellis voluntarily recalls rice protein concentrate

Wilbur-Ellis Company is voluntarily recalling all lots of the rice protein concentrate the San Francisco company's Feed Division has shipped to pet food manufacturers because of a risk that rice protein concentrate may have been contaminated by melamine.

Wilbur-Ellis noted that it obtained rice protein from a single source in China and shipped to a total of five U.S. pet food manufacturers located in Utah, N.Y., Kansas and two in Missouri.
