Products
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16, 2007 – The Pet Food Institute issued the following
statement in response to today’s announcement of a recall of some wet pet
food products manufactured by Menu Foods:
Member company Menu Foods and the Food and Drug Administration have
announced a recall of some wet pet food products. Only wet food labeled
“Cuts in Gravy” and manufactured by Menu Foods is affected by the recall.
DRY PET FOOD OF ANY BRAND IS NOT AFFECTED.
Like the manufacturers of human food, the members of the Pet Food Institute
take extreme measures to ensure the quality and safety of their products.
In the event of a quality or safety concern, our members take proactive
action. In this instance the manufacturer has taken steps to remove all
“Cuts and Gravy” products that they produce from the stream of commerce and
is communicating essential information to consumers in both a timely and
helpful manner. It is because of this commitment to quality and safety
that
U.S. pet food products set the industry standard globally
About the Recall:
The recall is limited to “cuts and gravy” style cat and dog food in cans
and
pouches manufactured by Menu Foods between December 3, 2006 and March 6,
2007. The list of affected brands is attached and posted at HYPERLINK
"BLOCKED:: http://www.menufoods.com/recall"www.menufoods.com/recall.
This posting gives a detailed listing of the code dates and product names

Please send any inquiries to Pet Food Institute at 202-367-1120 or

There is an ongoing investigation into the deaths and illnesses of dogs that consumed pet food contaminated with a potent toxin called aflatoxin. The pet food is made by Diamond Pet Food at its Gaston, South Carolina facility.
Aflatoxin comes from a fungus found on corn and other crops and can cause severe liver damage in pets. These are some symptoms which may indicate aflatoxin consumption: Sluggishness, Loss of appetite, Jaundice (yellow whites of the eyes, gums, belly) Severe, persistent vomiting combined with bloody diarrhea Fever.. There are too many sites listing contaminated pet food, the best thing to do is feed the dog with Flint River Ranch Lamb and Rice Dog Food, that's what I do..☺
