ChemNutra Inc. and owners Stephen and Sally Miller have signed a plea agreement admitting to 27 misdemeanor counts of distributing adulterated and/or misbranded food and one felony count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, PetProductsNews.com reported Wednesday. They will formally enter their pleas June 16 in federal court in Kansas City, Mo.
This is related to the 2007 melamine-tainted pet food disaster. The government claimed they new the products were mislabelled in China to prevent inspection and that the protein content was overstated.
