Does anyone Know What Brand Of Wet Dog Food is being Recalled due to cats and dogs Dying!?

Answer 1

"A major manufacturer of dog and cat food sold under Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger and other store brands recalled 60 million containers of wet pet food Friday after reports of kidney failure and deaths."

Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot numbers covered by the recall, saying they would be posted on its Web site — http://www.menufoods.com/recall — early Saturday. Consumers with questions can call [phone]. The link isn't working right now, because too many people are trying to access it at the same time.

"cuts and gravy" style food

Answer 2

Technically it should be safe but I wouldn't recommend it. The large scale recall was for contaminated wheat gluten, which is used as a thickening agent in wet food, so it is not present in dry food. The new recall by Natural Balance is for contaminated rice protein, which is used in some dry foods. Check your packaging to see if rice protein is listed as an ingredient. Of course there is no guarantee that they won't discover more contaminated ingredients. I don't think we are done with the new recalls yet so keep a close eve on your puppy.

Answer 3

Those foods being recalled are made by a brand called Menu. This company make dog food for other sources (such as Old Roy, a Walmart brand food). The company will be posting the recalled dog food on the website www.menufoods.com tomorrow morning (Saturday, 3-16-07).

Answer 4

According to the story on Yahoo, "Pet deaths prompt recall of pet food," the company, Menu Foods, will post a list of brands on their website: http://www.menufoods.com/recall —early Saturday. There is also an 866 number to call.

Answer 8

I just read an article on it...they haven't released the names yet. It's a Yahoo news story, so go there and look at it...all they said was that it was wet food, slices of meat in gravy, in both cans and pouches.

Answer 9

OMG-i had no idea,my cats eat wet food daily-please contact me if you find out what brand-worst of all, i bought it from walmart!!

Answer 10

Please Please Please beware of all comercial pet food!! After doing a lot of research and learning that purina, kibbles and bits, nine lives or any pet food bought at a super market is TOXIC!!! They bring cows ( and other animals) that die before they get to slaughter and just render them into food w/out knowing why or how they died. No dog or cat needs corn and that is a big filler in most commercial dog food, it comes from horrible sources, such as sweepings off the factory floor. Not to mention the chemicals and colors they add. Dogs and cats don't need any color in their food, they just need nutrients.

If you go to the canidae (a good dog & cat food) website and enter in your zip you can find a store that can really educate you about this matter!

Good Luck!
