There wasn't a list of brands affected, but Iw ould call walmart and check to see if that particular brand has been recalled.

Also Ol Roy is not a good brand of food. Too many fillers and junk ingredients.

SOOOOO sad. My two older cats LOVED this stuff. They fell ill to renal failure a day apart and we chalked it up to awful coincidence. After many attempts of 2 vets to save them, they did have to be euthanized (I said i would never make this choice but when they were suffering so bad it was something I HAD to do). One died on Feb 16th 2007 and the other on Feb20th 2007. They ate the recalled pouches of Wal marts "Special kitty", 2 a day. I now know that this was NOT coincidence. I am devastated beyond belief. I wish i could sue them. They will say that it is because my cats were old...well that just means that there poor little bodies couldnt handle the poision they were given. I hope there is a class action suit. i spoke to the FDA's veterinarian and he said there deaths fit the time frame exactly. He encouraged me to please report it to the MENU brands hotline...well that number has conveniently been disconectedn this morning. I dont see how they can do this to people...I lost my 2 best friends. Of course, my kitty that didnt care for there food is fine. Mmmhmmm. It is obvious and i am heartbroken.
