The plastic that may have found it's way into this product is the least of anyone's worries.
Gotta love the Applegate "Naturals" name. A blatant attempt to mislead people into thinking this is a natural product.
The best practice is no eat this crap. It's not even fit to feed your dog if you love him.
The Perdue group of companies continues to lose their best people, which could have prevented this from happening. Between the ones they laid off over the last five years and the ones that went on their own before the next shoe fell, easily a couple hundred good employees are gone.
Only a few would even think of coming back - even fewer have been welcomed back....and their reputation has been tarnished to the point that they're not seeing good applicants that they're willing to hire....
There are still others that should leave (some have) in order for them to rebuild.
That good ole "Natural" plastic.
May contain plastic???? I thought they were plastic??? OMG.... what have I been eating all these years?
Feed them to the ill eagle children!
