Here is a PetSmart site where you can go to find out if your dog food was recalled. I know that Iams and Eukanuba had a lot of their canned and moist (pouch) foods pulled from shelves. But over forty foods were involved from what I understand BUT NO DRY food.

Kudos to PetSmart for posting this and for posting it at their store at the doors and check out counters all day today.
I have to say that Eukanuba/Iams have also posted the recall types of food of theirs on their site. Science Diet has recall products too as well as Nutro. Science Diet recall only involves Cat and Kitten food and Nutro involves a lot of their wet and pouch foods, both dog and cat.
Many brands are affected so contact your retailer to arrange getting a refund or exchange for other foods that are not affected.

Dec 6, 2006 thru to March 6, 2007. Lams, Walmart & Safeway brands, Petsmart & Kruger.

Answer 5

Here is the information from the press release: http://us.eukanuba.com/eukanuba/en_US/jsp/Euk_Page.jsp;jsessionid=PXKI0ITD1LCJ3QFIAJ1JY24AVABHRHE1?pageID=MC&newsArticleID=22&intcmp=HM_PRR
P&G Pet Care Announces Voluntary Participation in Menu Foods’ Nationwide U.S. and Canadian Recall of Specific Canned and Small Foil Pouch ‘Wet’ Cat and Dog Foods

Dayton, OH (March 16, 2007) – In response to the recent Menu Foods, Inc. nationwide recall of wet pet foods, P&G Pet Care has announced a voluntary recall in the United States and Canada on specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch “wet” cat and dog food products manufactured by Menu Foods Inc. Emporia, Kansas plant with the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197. This voluntary recall is part of a larger product recall by Menu Foods Inc., a contract manufacturer that makes a small portion of canned and foil pouch ‘wet’ cat foods for Iams and Eukanuba as well as other non-P&G brands. There have been a small number of reported cases of cats from the US (none in Canada) becoming sick and developing signs of kidney failure. The signs of kidney failure include loss of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy. P&G Pet Care has received no case reports involving dogs.

This voluntary product recall involves discontinuation of all retail sales and product retrieval from consumers. Consumers should stop using the affected products immediately, and consult with a veterinarian if any symptoms are present in their pet. All Iams and Eukanuba products carry a 100 percent guarantee, and consumers can receive a refund for recalled products. For more information, consumers can contact the company at 1-800-882-1591 or visit www.Iams.com and www.Eukanuba.com for details.

To read can product codes, refer to the bottom of the can. The first four numbers of the second line of numbers are the date code, and the following four numbers indicate the plant code. For example, if the second line begins with four numbers from 6339 to 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, then the can should be recalled. For foil pouches, the code numbers are located at the lower left hand corner on the back of the pouch. The date and plant codes appear in the third group of numbers, beginning an 11-digit sequence. See www.Iams.com and www.Eukanuba.com for illustrated details. Review the list of involved products here.

P&G Pet Care is taking this proactive step out of an abundance of caution, because the health and well-being of pets is paramount in the mission of Iams and Eukanuba. Tests of some affected product have not revealed the cause of sickness, and testing will continue until a better understanding of the facts has been achieved. All other canned and small foil wet pouch products produced at other plants are not affected by this issue. Iams and Eukanuba “dry” products are not manufactured at Menu Foods and not affected by this issue. Iams and Eukanuba biscuits, treats and sauces are not affected by this issue.

P&G Pet Care has informed the Food and Drug Administration and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on this issue. The company regrets any inconvenience to its consumers and retail customers.

Answer 6

My understanding of the dog food recall is that it only affected the wet style dog food. Pouch or canned. Many brands of dog and cat food are under this recall.

Answer 7
