Default Pet food recall

Pet food recall. Cases of renal failure. Here's the list of foods and a link to the press release.


.


There is also a link for cat foods.

I personally feed my dog Solid Gold, Wolf King and my cat has lived on Iams canned food for the last 21 years.

Hope you are all having a great day with your critters.

Hugs and Prayers

IAMS & Eukaneuba are included in this recall

Quote:
The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between December 3 and March 6 throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said.

Menu Foods said it makes pet foods for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies, including Procter & Gamble Co.

Proctor & Gamble announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands. The recalled products bear the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, P&G said.

Menu Foods' three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1 billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made at company plants in Emporia, Kansas, and Pennsauken, New Jersey, Henderson said.

I just spoke with PetsMart and they are saying that as a precaution, even cans and pouches of sliced or chunked wetfood that do not have the same code as the recalled ones, should nevertheless be returned.

this is a real dilemma for me as my kittens will only eat sliced wet food, not the loaf or pate` style
They do also eat their Eukanuba kibble, but are still at the stage where they need wet food too

the IAMS & Eukanuba kitten slices that I have for them do have the Menu Foods plant code, but not the batch code that is being recalled...but, obviously I am going to return them based on what the lady at Petsmart just told me (P&G's phone number has had a busy signal for 2 days now
.
)

any other brands out there that do NOT have artificial color or flavor added?
