The fallout from a tainted pet food scandal hit Menu Foods Income Fund again on Tuesday, when its biggest customer said it would stop buying some of its products in the fourth quarter.

The unnamed customer, whose total purchases made up nearly 10.8 percent of Menu Food’s sales volume in 2006, said it would stop buying ‘loaf’ products from the company beginning October 1, Menu Foods said in a statement.

Oh, boo hoo! I think it’s ridiculous they even reported this in the news if they weren’t even going to name the customer that is telling Menu Foods to take a flying leap. What’s the point? They could have basically said, ‘Someone is no longer buying from us. That someone makes large purchases. It’s going to hurt our bottom line.”

Again, who cares? Their product poisoned

thousands

of dogs and cats across the country and they think we care that one of their biggest customers is leaving? What in the hell took that customer so long to decide to leave? The pets are already sick, or dead, so why leave now?

“Menu Foods is disappointed in the reaction of this customer to the pet food recall. The intentional tainting of product inputs from a third party supplier in China was a fraudulent act that victimized many pet food manufacturers, customers and consumers,” Paul Henderson, Menu’s president and chief executive, said in the statement.

This guy must have a screw loose. Is he really clueless about why customers may no longer trust their products? Maybe, just maybe, if they adopted new safety measures and actually tested the ingredients they import, people might place some faith in them. Save the sob story for people who actually care about your bottom line more than the pets.
