Did you have a sample of the food tested? I fear that even by calling the
800 number, they are of course going to tell you that nothing has been
reported. I know that that is the way Ms. Sims found out her contaminated
food.

Hi! We live in Brighton, MI (I work in Ann Arbor!) and we use the wood
pellets. I love them! I found them at Home Depot in Brighton (off of 96)
for about $3.09 for a 40# bag. They are kept outside in the garden area
for some strange reason and the people that worked there looked at me like
I was from a different planet when I tried to explain to them what they
were. But they did find them for me! I also found them at Quality Farm &
Fleet in Howell (on Grand River) for $2.99 for a 40# bag. I like these
best - they are made in MI for Quality Farm & Fleet, are HARD WOOD (with no
odor), and are darker than the ones from Home Depot - and best of all they
are cheaper than Home Depot and kept right inside near the wood pellet
burning stoves. I am so IN LOVE with these wood pellets! The best thing
about Quality - I asked if they could get them all year and they said YES!
They told me that last year they had about a TON left over that they still
had in back during the summer! They told me all I had to do was tell them
that I needed a whole bunch and they would put in a big order at the end of
the season! How wonderful!
