They haven't been recalled, but they aren't good products.
Rule of thumb is if you can buy it in a grocery store, don't buy it.
See the What to feed link for suggestions. Any of these foods are perfect for kittens as well as adults.

As far as the recal goes, cat chow wan't recalled but it's just not great food for a cat
Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health
Contrary to what you may have heard, dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.
Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. The problems with it are that they are loaded with carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process. Most of the moisture a cat needs is gotten
out of the food and 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Also, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.
You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods.Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Please read about cat nutrition.

I got a phone call from Purina a while back and they told me that their food is not on the recall list.
What has been happening is that the cans have been recoded and the stores have been reselling them. I read about this in Pet Connection.com

The bad food was removed from the market months ago.

They pulled all of the bad stuff... so if the stores are selling it, it should be safe.
