Labeling question Formulated In VS Made In
  • Brains, I know you're busy so I'm just sticking this in general cause I know other forum members often know the answer too.

    So gang, here's a question about labeling language. What's the difference between "Formulated In" and "Made In"? Can something be formulated in one country but actually made in another?

    Reason I ask it I was thinking about getting some of that Plaque Blast for Minnie. However when I was in one of those "As seen on TV" stores I noticed it didn't say it was made in America, but that it was formulated in America. As people are STILL losing their pets to deadly pet food and treats made in China I'm insanely paranoid about where Minnie's stuff comes from. I only trust things made in the USA, Israel, the UK, Canada, etc - basically, the only thing I trust that's made in China is Jackie Chan. 

    For those that don't know, Minnie is a miniature maltipoo and a former puppy mill breeder dog. She only has seven teeth and trying to brush them is extremely difficult. Plus her gums bleed badly when I try to brush them. So I tend for the sprays and the stuff you add to water. However her breath is still terrible. What few teeth she has, I want her to keep for the rest of her life. That's why I'm tempted to try the Plaque Blast. But not if there's the slightlest chance it might be made in China. 

    On a side note, has anyone heard anything more about that baby that died recently? Was it the formula that the baby drank that killed them? And where was the formula that was recalled after the baby's death made?
