With the massive pet food recall that is going on, I have had people asking me what pet food is safe. At this point, feeding our pets any commercially prepared food can feel quite risky. The following companies have made statements that their food is not affected by the Menu Foods recall. Keep in mind that we are not “recommending” any of these foods. Rather, we’re compiling a list of foods that are reported safe by the manufacturers.

I know that Orijen isn't involved with Menu Foods at all, either.
Some of the companies ARE involved with menu foods...Just not affected by the recall....from what I gathered...I could be mistaken though

Taken from Orijen's website:

Champion Petfoods is an family owned-and-operated, independent producer of quality pet foods. We are the exclusive producers of both ACANA and ORIJEN -- these brands are never produced or co-packed by another manufacturing facility.

As such, Champion Petfoods is unaffected by the unfortunate product recalls experienced by Menu Foods and in no way connected to these products. We would like to express our sympathy to all those who have been affected.

I wish these companies would come out and just say if they use Menu Foods at all... this is so frustrating =/
I agree. Finding out that some of the brands that I comsidered to be "very good" even if they are not made there, but go through Menu foods, that is enough to turn me off.
