Greetings FDA FOIE, and the Honorable Phyllis Fong et al @ OIG FOIA,
ANOTHER FOIA REQUEST PLEASE !
I apologize for wasting your time. this could have been handled differently if the FDA et al would just clearly identify these feed recalls with exactly what was in them, and what type recall it is.
I was told that the only way to find any more information on the following recall, i would have to submit a FOIA ? why, i do not know ?

Terry,
That is the extent of the public information on the recall. If you wish to obtain additional information, you should submit a freedom of information act request through our communications staff. You could send an email request to: mhtml:%7B33B38F65-8D2E-434D-8F9B-8BDCD77D3066%7Dmid://00000294/!x-usc:mailto:CVMHomeP@cvm.fda.gov

================end...TSS
Greetings again FDA, OIG et al,
I am trying to find out more information on another recall, that contains possible mad cow protein? but we do not know for sure, the way the recall warning letters are being wrote up now.
I had to file FOIA last week for the same thing. see ;

FOIA REQUEST FEED RECALL 2009 Product may have contained prohibited materials Bulk Whole Barley, Recall # V-256-2009
http://madcowfeed.blogspot.com/2009/08/foia-request-feed-recall-2009-product.html
and I recieved 'confirmation' of my request in the postal mail with Log No. xx-xxxxx.
HOWEVER, SADLY, I requested another explaination again from Pritchett, Burt on this newest suspect mad cow feed recall this week below, explaining to him that this is rediculous to have to file a FOIA on every feed recall now, and that all he had to do was to explain exactly what we are speaking of in these recalls, and I have gotten no response to date. SO, I will continue to write these FOIA request, until we get this straightened out, even if it takes another 6+ years to find the truth.
F.O.I.A request on the following please ;

IS this is a BSE/TSE feed ban violation of some sort, or exactly what ?
NOT KNOWING EXACTLY what this recall is about, we must assume it is just more mad cow feed in commerce, but they refuse to tell us exactly what it is.

exactly what was it ???
under regs just previously posted, if i understand this right, you now have 3
Subpart B-Listing of Specific Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed ;
