Those companies won't have to worry too much about making money off this incident. The law of supply and demand will automatically up their profits because you can't buy the other stuff right now, and a lot of people won't anyway when the products hit the shelves again. It's just like the peanut butter scare. I still can't buy Peter Pan or Great Value brand, and Jif can't keep the shelves stocked because their production lines weren't slated to handle that kind of demand all of a sudden. Jif has profited quite nicely from Con Agra's misfortune, and the other cat/dog food supply companies will enjoy the same trend for the time being.
