One of the places which has been on our “list of places to eat” here in Winnipeg is Restuarant Dubrovnik. We’ve heard nothing but good things about this place, which has been favorably reviewed in several places.

Natural Balance, which was touted as a great alternative to the grocery-store brands that were hit by the Menu Foods recall last month, announced that it is recalling two specific varieties of dog and cat food.

Coming on the heels of the Lilydale sliced turkey breast recall (the affected meat may have contained salmonella), Marcella’s Garden is recalling tubs of olives because they may have botulism.
Turkey and olives. Who cares, right? On to the real show: cat food!

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has released a study decrying the nutritional content and calories in Chinese restaurant food.
