Read the timelines. The day NB fessed up should have been the day all five companies were disclosed as a precaution. Really, if this was baby food, I doubt it would be dragging on as it is.

What exactly are you referring to? Where does it mention in that link that ROYAL CANIN knew about this, what date are you referring to exactly...are you referring to the link's mention of :

" On Monday (April 16), a pet food distributor issued a voluntary recall of its pet food, believing the source of contamination to be rice protein concentrate supplied by Wilbur-Ellis."?

Is your comlaint with ROYAL CANIN or MenuFoods???

Wal-Mart Pulls Two Kinds of Dog Treats From Its Shelves
LITTLE ROCK, AK (AP) -- It could be another blow to Chinese imports.

Wal-Mart quietly stopped selling two brands of dog treats after customers complained the treats sickened their dogs, but it hasn't announced a recall.

A company spokeswoman said the treats are being tested.

The world's largest retailer started pulling two types of chicken jerky from two different Chinese importers in late July. It also placed a computerized block on all cash registers to prevent workers from selling the products.

Wal-Mart's action follows a massive pet food recall in March, when retailers began pulling products made in China that included the chemical Melamine, a byproduct of several pesticides.

Philadelphia television station WPVI reports that a woman claims her 2-year-old Chihuahua died after eating the dog treats. An autopsy revealed that the dog died of an infection caused by toxic bacteria.

I could be mistaken, but I believe that recall was announced this spring or sometime about then. Also, many chinese-made toothpastes were recalled at that time, human toothpastes etc, those brands making up a large percentage of products found at discount stores, cheap brands, etc.

Okay, I just came across it last night and didn't look further back.
