Did the contaminated wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate from China get into the human food supply?
We have no evidence to suggest that any of the imported products labeled as wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate that were contaminated with melamine and melamine-related compounds were used as ingredients in human food. Import records and records obtained during follow-up tracking of products reveal that all shipments labeled as wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate from the two Chinese suppliers were purchased by U.S. firms that distributed them to pet food manufacturers and a Canadian firm that manufactures fish feed.
