I once read that the quality control for canned dog food is more
stringent than those parameters set for Spam, Klik etc.
IOW, it is okay for uncle Fred to hurl his guts out at the party, but
Fluffy is safe.

IANAL, don't play one on TV, but have seen William Shatner act. It seems
to me that if Uncle Fred eats bad Spam and dies, his family could sue for
millions. However, if Fluffy dies, the family is entitled to whatever they
paid for the dog.

It sorta makes sense from an economic standpoint... The company that makes
human food wants to avoid lawsuits so they have more QC, but the company
that makes dog food doesn't care, so they have less QC and have to have
additional QC forced upon them by the governments.
