Catfish lovers, however, may be more riled than anyone else. The nation's catfish farmers and processors have been irked for years over Asian catfish imports, warning that the fish are raised under unhealthy conditions. They are convinced that Chinese wheat gluten suspected in the pet food poisoning is also fed to foreign-raised catfish.
"This pet food incident has shined a light on an issue that already exists, and that is the fact that there are many contaminated products coming from China, not just wheat," said Dick Stevens of Consolidated Catfish Cos. in Isola, Miss.
The Catfish Farmers of America has tracked 49 shipments of Chinese-farmed catfish that were refused entry into the U.S. in the past year. The group is calling for federal legislation extending the requirements of listing the product's origin. The group wants restaurants, which account for more than 70 percent of catfish consumption, to list the origin of the catfish they serve.
