TruthaboutPetFood.com was alerted to a big disposal of pet meals. The next photos had been posted within the Saving Pets One Pet at a Time Facebook page:
There seems to be 5 dumpsters full of enormous baggage of pet meals. If you happen to look to the far proper of the picture, the picture seems to comprise at the least another dumpster stuffed with pet meals. Blow up of that part beneath.
A more in-depth look…
And a detailed up (image taken of two of the dumped baggage behind a pickup truck):
These footage had been posted just a few days in the past (November 8, 2025) and the poster said “Does anybody know what’s happening with Purina One Grownup Massive Breed meals? My husband despatched these photographs from a job web site. It’s been happening for five days. These are taken in Illinois.” Info was additionally offered that the Finest By date on these pet meals was “2/27”. They don’t seem to be expired pet meals.
We had been advised the pet meals was being disposed of in Franklin Park, IL.
Purina doesn’t have a pet meals manufacturing plant in or close to Franklin Park, IL.
BUT…Purina’s guardian firm Nestle does have a human meals/complement enterprise in Franklin Park, IL. Nestle owned Very important Proteins (a collagen product) is situated at “3400 Wolf Rd Ste 200, Franklin Park, IL 60131”.
Facet by facet photographs of the picture of the dumpsters stuffed with Purina One pet meals and the Nestle Vital Proteins facility seem to point they’re the identical location.
Once more…there’s NO Purina pet meals manufacturing facility at this location. Thus we assume this pet meals was shipped and unloaded into dumpsters on the Nestle Very important Proteins plant.

Are they hiding one thing OR is there an harmless rationalization?
