19. Canada BANNED importing US dog foods last year -
.
.
.

and is currently trying to go through a "certification" process to determine how food is made . .

From an article:


After a case of mad cow disease was confirmed in the U.S. in December, the federal government in Canada instituted a ban on products made with parts from ruminant animals such as sheep, goats and cattle.

That ban includes pet food, which often contains nerve tissue from these animals, a kind of tissue that is thought to hold more risk of passing on bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
