This can grow to the size large enough to attract the attention…………..

occurs usually in the form of regularly shaped prisms, with the edges tending to form straight lines.

Glass particles are more likely to be irregular inshape.However, the type of product presentation and the location in the can, mayproduce less regular shaped crystals.

HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRUVITECRYSTALS AND GLASS?

Struvite crystals can be easily identified in the laboratory and you can tell the difference between Struvite Crystals and glass by carrying out simple tests at home.

For example:

• Struvite crystals are softer than glass and can be scratched.

• They are soluble in a hot dilution of acid-vinegar or lemon juice. Boiling them for a few minutes will completely dissolve crystals, but not glass.

• If you squash crystals between two hard surfaces they will usually break down in to smaller fragments or powder.Food Health & SafetyARE THEY HARMFUL?No.

In fact, the chemicals in Struvite Crystals occur in many foods, and are valuable nutrients.

As the acid-vinegar/lemon juice test demonstrates, Struvite Crystals dissolve in acids, such asthose naturally present in the stomach.

They are easily digested, do not smell or taste and are too soft to do any harm.

The formation of Struvite Crystals cannot be prevented completely even with the use of additives, such as polyphosphates.Although any breed can be affected,Miniature Schnauzer, Bichon Frise, Dachshund, Poodle, Scottish Terrier, Beagle, Pekingese, and Welsh Corgi are predisposed to Sruvite Urolith formation.
