Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007cat food brands affected by the recall
http://menufoods.com/recall/ ALso, the Associatedpress.com site has a more detailed article on the recall altho menufoods does not know aht caused the troubles. Norm > http://menufoods.com/recall/ I had originally not paid much attention to this, since the news said it was for "supermarket brands", which we do not use. I was shocked to see it includes Nutro food, which is our staple wet food.  SignatureVictor M.

I was shocked to see >it includes Nutro food, which is our staple wet food. likewise all around. I even have a batch of pouches that's similar to a batch listed in the Nutro spreadsheet. the production date is one day off, and the UPCs are identical except that the final digit on the pouch (lower-right corner of the UPC, away from the bar code) is not present in the UPC on the spreadsheet. I'm *guessing* that these pouches were made at a different facility (not one of the two that is known to have produced the bad food) one day later than the affected lot, but Saturday Night Pouches are canceled until I can get a straight answer from someone. I've only used 4 pouches from this box (given to 3 different cats), so that's not enough evidence for me to assume these pouches are safe just yet. I'm *really* glad cans weren't affected as well. I'd have a mutiny on my hands if I couldn't feed that stuff. better than trips to the emergency vet and other such ugliness, though.

Basho would probably starve to death if we stopped buying his California Chicken Supreme, it's about the only food he'll always eat. Now off to catalogue our cat pantry and see what needs to go.

The pouches we have have the affected UPC code, but not the best by date, looks like we're safe. I'm not sure if I want to feed them to the crew though... :( SignatureVictor M.

I'm not sure if I want to feed them to the >crew though... :( the UPC is specific to the product (the variety in this case) and probably doesn't ever change by lot. I have one box of pouches with the same UPC and a best-by date of Oct. '08. that should have been made in Oct '06, which is well before the problem lots were manufactured (and there are indeed no best-by dates in the list that are too near the one on these pouches), so I'm going to continue feeding from that box once I have some safe pouches for the cats who eat the other variety from my questionable box. (there'll be trouble if some get pouches and some don't.) the best-by date seems to be about two years off from the manufacture date in general, and I probably wouldn't worry about anything that wasn't made between November '06 and March '07. but they're your kids, of course, so I can't *really* tell you to not worry. gotta do what you feel is safe.

Yeah, we only have about 20 pouches left, so I think I'm just going to toss them. Better safe than sorry. SignatureVictor M.

Better safe than sorry. I guess this is the one time I'm thankful Persia has to eat rather pricey prescription food! Yes, Victor, better safe than sorry!

Norm I can't stay and play (wish that I could!!!), but I did want to mention that I had a cat that was switched to Eukanuba which I was a bit dubious about. I've always fed my cats Science Diet both dry and wet cat food since I first began to be enamored with cats !!!!! And that's many years ago. Well, I only switched that one cat and came VERY close to losing him. My quick response and a very good vet saved his life but he will be on meds for the rest of his life. Since that happened even though it costs more and I'm on SSD I still feed the Science Diet, thanks to a very sweet, caring friend who is an animal lover who buys all of my cat food !!!!!!! Good to see all of your names. I just stopped by for a RPCA 'fix'.

What on earth was the point of mentioning the catfood if you didn't think it was relevant to the illness?

I have the same question as Jack: the implication here very strongly asserts that Eukanuba was the cause of your coming "VERY close to losing him." What is the story? Can you clarify what you meant, if not that Eukanuba nearly caused this cat's demise?

Can you clarify what you meant, if not that Eukanuba > nearly caused this cat's demise? It sounds to me very much like her cat *did* come close to dying after eating Eukanuba. She didn't say why, only that she regularly fed her cat Science Diet, and when she switch to Eukanuba, she almost lost that cat. The story seems pretty straightforward to me, even if there's no proof that Eukanuba was the cause.

Norm We went to the Pet Supermarket yesterday to buy food for the girls, and they'd pulled ALL their canned food except for Purina pro-plan plus and a couple of the expensive 'natural' varieties... I was very surprised to see them not selling science diet! And the girls were NOT PLEASED to be given super-fancy catfood for dinner. Can't say I blame them - it may have called itself 'Grammy's chicken pot pie' but it looked predigested :P >> http://menufoods.com/recall/ >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > them - it may have called itself 'Grammy's chicken pot pie' but it > looked predigested :P LOL That's almost as bad as Fancy Feast "souffles" for cats. Is FF on the list? I really haven't perused it completely because Persia can't eat it. Jill > And the girls were NOT > PLEASED to be given super-fancy catfood for dinner. Can't say I blame > them - it may have called itself 'Grammy's chicken pot pie' but it > looked predigested :P LOL. Neither was Ketzl; I thought maybe he'd like it so I picked up a couple of cans to try it. Now I'm wondering if *I* can force it down... I hate to waste it.
