According to Consumer Reports article, any Dairy formula with due dates of July 2015 or later, and Dairy with DHA&ARA; with due dates of January 2014 or later have been tested to be safe. Sadly I threw out my cans that had early due dates. The challenge when ordering online is to make sure the product you are getting is not from an old stockpile.

Honestly ... i cannot remember. She's been off the bottle for quite a while. I can tell you ... They are AMAZING. I would've NEVER believed a bottle could make such a difference in a baby. You could probably call or email the company the question. Good luck!

I can't answer that. Obviously it does not say it contains lead because that would be illegal. We've been drinking it non-religiously for 3 years or so and I have not succumb to lead poisoning. Are you worried about the arsenic content of rice? There are toxins in everything, take care of your liver and you should be fine. Look up studies on toxin contents of the deceased, both rich and poor are full of toxins when they die, they are just different ones from eating fresh fish (mercury) to heavy metals from canned foods. This stuff is a good, hypo allergenic protein powder. New car, new carpet, new things in general are way more toxic than rice. I can't answer that.

Wasn't aware the formula had changed. Last order was 6 months ago. Will be refilling my supply soon, so will see if there is a difference.

Dear Mike, Unfortunately we have not personally sampled this particular product ourselves, and we are unable to provide our own opinion. However upon review of the product description and supplement facts, we see that it is comprised of herbs and a few minerals that can be quite bitter tasting. It is said that it can be taken strait, but it is recommended to mix into a child's beverage. We hope this information was helpful to you. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you, and we appreciate your patience in this matter. If we can be of further assistance, or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at your earliest opportunity. Thank you, and have a fantastic day! Sincerely, Kellie B.

I went on Google to see what I could find out. The highest concentration of Arsenic is in brown rice. All rice has Arsenic in it. I don't know what kind of Rice is in this dog food. Other dog foods contain potato but even peeled potatoes contain huge amounts of pesticides unless they are Organic. I read what other people were saying and many are saying they will cotinue to feed this food to their dogs until the FDA comes up with some final answers. Blue Buffalo has a grain free food so you may conisder that one. I just know what I see in my dogs since switching to the Lamb and Rice food. They did better on this one than the Chicken and Rice. With all the issues in our food supplies it's pretty hard to get away from all the toxins. According to what I read the Arsenic levels in this dog food was about 4% which is well below maximum allowed. There are two other brands that have excellent ratings and are sold here on Amazon one is Orijen and the other is Acana. I believe they are grain free and I know Blue Buffalo also has grain free dog food. The Orijen and Acana are very expensive, I can't afford them but if you can you may want to give them a try. I hope this helps you!

I only bought one because unfortunately my baby wouldn't drink this formula. I ended up donating it to his daycare. Sorry. Wish I could help.

The most recent FDA report (9/13) essentially says there isn't cause for concern about short-term risk, but they don't know about long-term risk. In googling, I saw that at least one company, Lundberg, says they're making efforts to lessen the arsenic in their rice. Nishiki is made by JFC International Inc, and their website talks about how Nishiki is grown " with the rich soil and crystal clear water of California", but doesn't mention growing it with arsenic. On the upside, less arsenic is found in rice from California (and India) than rice from Texas and Arkansas.

to the best of my knowledge it appears that it doesn't. However it does contain organic rice syrup which might contain arsenic as per news on rice so I wouldn't give the shake daily.

Go online to now supplements and ask them. I have a lot of trust in their products. But if they are sourcing it from the Pacific ocean I would worry about more than arsenic.After the Japanese meltdown there is probably a lot to consider. Thanks for asking the question.

Yep, I didn't get the one with the glucosamine, MSM, curcumin, etc., and that is the one that I wanted. I have ordered a bottle in the past and got the correct one, but this time they sent another formula. Not sure if I should return it or not. Did you receive the correct one?

Customers have been complaining about this problem for several months. I had the same experience with an order at the end of July. I just called Nutramax to ask if they had gone back to their previous formula and they confirmed that they had. So, I'm going to order it again, but only when there's some assurance that the product being shipped is from replaced inventory, not the hard stuff.

I trust Dr. Harvey to do what is right for companion animals, but I did ask for his opinion on the brown rice issue. Here is the response I got from Dr. Harvey's: Please be aware that organic brown rice constitutes only 4% of the total Canine Health formulation and makes up an even smaller part of the overall diet when meat and water are added. To give you further context, 4% of brown rice per scoop of Canine Health equals approximately 1 gram of Brown rice - which is 0.05% of one cup of brown rice. In recent tests by the FDA they found that brown rice samples contain approximately 6.7 Micrograms (One millionth of a gram) of inorganic arsenic in 1 cup of brown rice. (http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm319827.htm). This means that there would be about 0.03 micrograms of inorganic arsenic in one scoop of Canine Health - an extremely small amount. Additionally, the amount of brown rice in the Canine Health formulation is significantly below the FDA's acceptable range of brown rice intake, which they are not changing at this time. Dr. Harvey is researching our organic brown rice sources and we will be closely monitoring further scientific research surrounding this concern. We are being careful not to make a hasty decision,although you can be assured that we will not hesitate to make a change if we feel there is any danger at all and to reiterate, brown rice makes up such a small amount of our formula, we are certain it could not have any negative affects on a companion dog's health.

I have never heard of any formula concerns, but I plan to do some research after reading your question. I have been using this product for almost a year (vanilla only), in fact I get it shipped automatically every month and I have never had a problem or noticed any differences.
