KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal prosecutors say a Las Vegas-based firm and its owners have been sentenced to three years’ probation for distributing a toxic pet-food ingredient.
Prosecutors in Kansas City say Sally Qing Miller, 43, and Stephen S. Miller, 57, also must pay a $5,000 fine, and their company, Chemnutra, must pay $25,000. The Millers imported more than 800 metric tons of Chinese wheat gluten contaminated with melamine and sold it to pet-food manufacturers. Thousands of cats and dogs reportedly became sick or died, leading to food recalls in 2007.
The court said the Millers won’t have to pay more because of a $24 million settlement in a civil suit in New Jersey. The Associated Press
