Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2007SERIOUS: PET FOOD RECALL
A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are not sure what is causing it yet. Here is the complete list of cat foods: http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_cat.html Dog foods: http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_dog.html PLEASE check the lists for any foods you may have and follow the guidelines on the website: http://www.menufoods.com/recall/Press_Recall_03162007.pdf Phone Number 1-866-895-2708 -L. >A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick > and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > -L.

Sandy Purina to Voluntarily Withdraw Mighty Dog(R) 5.3 Ounce Pouch Products in Response to Menu Foods Recall No other Purina products affected ST. LOUIS, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestle Purina PetCare Company today announced that as a precautionary measure, it is voluntarily withdrawing its 5.3 ounce Mighty Dog(R) brand pouch products that were produced by Menu Foods, Inc. from December 3, 2006 through March 14, 2007. This withdrawal is in response to the recall initiated earlier today by Menu Foods, a contract manufacturer that does limited business with Purina as well as with other pet food manufacturers. Only Mighty Dog 5.3 ounce pouch products are being withdrawn by Nestle Purina, including those pouches contained in multi-packs. Importantly, no Mighty Dog canned products, or any other Purina products are affected by Menu's recall. While Purina has no indication of any product quality or safety issues specifically related to our Mighty Dog pouch products, Purina is taking this proactive action out of an abundance of caution in response to the Menu Foods recall. Consumers who have the indicated Mighty Dog 5.3 ounce pouch products should discontinue feeding them to their dogs and can receive the full replacement value of the withdrawn products by calling 1-800-551-7392. The Mighty Dog pouch products and pouches in multi-pack cartons have code dates of 6337 through 7073, followed by the plant code 1798. This information is located on the bottom or back panel of the pouches or cartons. Specifically, if the code following the "Use By" date begins with four numbers from 6337 to 7073 followed by the plant code 1798, then the pouch is included in this voluntary withdrawal. Purina regrets any inconvenience and apologizes for any concern caused by this product withdrawal. The Company will continue to take any and all actions necessary to ensure the quality and safety of our products. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/03-16-200 7/0004547959&EDATE= __._,_.___ > Well, the other article on this newsgroup, posted by Bellsouth, has info > about IAMS and Eukanuba with product and factory codes, and I just want to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Sandy Sandy, I'd say it's not worth the chance.

Leave it to the government to respond by killing more animals! Too bad the morons doing the testing were not forced to eat the tainted food. Feds Tests of Suspect Pet Food Kills 7 Federal Tests of Suspect Pet Food Kills 7 Subjects, Major Recall Underway By ANDREW BRIDGES The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Seven animals died in tests of suspect dog and cat food by the manufacturer after complaints the products were poisoning pets around the country, the government said Monday. A federal investigation is focusing on wheat gluten as the likely source of contamination that sparked a recall last Friday of 60 million cans and pouches of the suspect food, said Stephen F. Sundlof, the Food and Drug Administration's top veterinarian. The ingredient, a protein source, is commonly used as filler. Agency investigators are looking at other ingredients as well. The wet-style pet food was made by Menu Foods, an Ontario, Canada-based company. Menu Foods told the FDA it received the first complaints of kidney failure and deaths among cats and dogs from pet owners on Feb. 20. It began new tests on Feb. 27. During those tests, the company fed its product to 40 to 50 dogs and cats and some seven animals the mix of species was not immediately known died, Sundlof said. The contamination appeared more deadly to cats than to dogs, he said. The recall now covers dog food sold throughout North America under 51 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was sold under both store and major brand labels at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Safeway and other large retailers. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2964316 > I only buy Wellness food for my cat. Virtually all the labels use ingredients from different sources so no guarantee with any product even to the somewhat lesser degree *homemade.. unless your also growing your own veggies and meat. > > I only buy Wellness food for my cat. > > Virtually all the labels use ingredients from different sources so no > guarantee with any product even to the somewhat lesser degree > *homemade.. unless your also growing > your own veggies and meat. Understood that there are no guarantees. However, I feel it is a much safer bet. A MUCH safer bet. Especially when once I ran out of Wellness and forgot to purchase more. I ran to the local bodega and purchased Friskie's. Sure, he loved it, but he ate a ton and I ran out so quickly. He ate more, I cleaned his box more, let's just leave it at that. Since we've switched to canned food I think my cat's coat has gotten a lot softer and silkier. He feels like a little bunny rabbit now! But a bunny rabbit that doesn't leave little round turds all over my living room. Best, Heather Friskies is a safer bet? That food is nothing but filler and by-product. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

My two buddies Pete and Fred have been raised on Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul and they seem the thrive on this dry mix but a few times a week I give them a treat..one small can of Fancy Feast Grilled which they never turn down but for the most part the dry seems to keep them in excellent all-around health and teeth and gums pink and shiny. I was especially happy that the vast majority of our best pals seem to be ok..they are tough little critters.. we sometime forget this. > My two buddies Pete and Fred have been raised on Chicken Soup for the > Cat Lovers Soul [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ok..they are > tough little critters.. we sometime forget this. They are tough, indeed. Unfortunately some of us on this group must medicate daily, myself included. Therefore, wet food is my only option. I used to feed dry food daily and my cat thrived on it, as well. He is doing well on the canned food, but I've noticed a slight drop in weight in the transition. It hasn't been a month yet but I think this week he seems to be gaining a bit back. I won't no for sure until we go in to the vet for a check-up. He still looks to be at a healthy weight with maybe only a couple of ounce of loss. I'm thinking it could also be due to less water retention as there are less carbohydrates in canned food. I'll discuss with the vet for a clearer picture. ;-) Best, Heather Sophistacat is a canned cat food brand carried by Wal-Mart in Canada & is listed on the recall website http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_cat.html M. >>>A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick >>> and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >MaryL Mary special kitty is Wal-Mart brand >>>A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick >>> and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > MaryL You have to read it is says marketed under which means a generic brand >>A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick >> and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Sandy > >A number of foods are being recalled because animals are getting sick > > and dying; kidney failure is the most prevalent problem and they are [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > but neither of those are mentioned in that product list.

I clicked on the link associated with each brand name and examined the numbers, and it seems that the three pouches and one can I have are not within the range of numbers being recalled by Iams or Nutro Max Gourmet Classics. Hopefully they don't add more brands to their list because I just went to my local Petco today and they were taking a slew of items off the shelves left and right. I asked the young man to check my basket and he said he thought what I had was fine. (I made sure none of the products I was purchasing were brands listed, so I'm having to try new cat food and not buying some of my old brands.) Maybe my kitties will find new favorites.

An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the reported cases of illness and death, the company said. "At this juncture, we're not 100 percent sure what's happened," said Paul Henderson, the company's president and chief executive officer. However, the recalled products were made using wheat gluten purchased from a new supplier, since dropped for another source, spokeswoman Sarah Tuite said. Wheat gluten is a source of protein. The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec. 3 and March 6 throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Company, Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said. Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot numbers covered by the recall, saying they would be posted on its Web site - http://www.menufoods.com/recall - early Saturday. Consumers with questions can call (866) 463-6738. The company said it manufacturers for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies, including Procter & Gamble Co. P&G announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands. The recalled products bear the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, P&G said. Menu Foods' three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1 billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made at company plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J., Henderson said. Henderson said the company received an undisclosed number of owner complaints of vomiting and kidney failure in dogs and cats after they had been fed its products. It has tested its products but not found a cause for the sickness. "To date, the tests have not indicated any problems with the product," Henderson said. The company alerted the Food and Drug Administration, which already has inspectors in one of the two plants, Henderson said. The FDA was working to nail down brand names covered by the recall, agency spokesman Mike Herndon said. Menu Foods is majority owned by the Menu Foods Income Fund, based in Ontario, Canada. Henderson said the recall would cost the company the Canadian equivalent of $26 million to $34 million. ___ On the Net: Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/ > "Stacey Weinberger" <poppin...@earthlink.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 128 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Some people are saying that you should purchase premium dog foods and they wouldn't be having this problem right now.

When you think about it, there is no need for wheat or other grains in canned cat food. And there is never a need to feed cats dry food, which always has a lot of grain. >> Is wheat gluten always listed as such in the ingredients? Can it appear >> just as wheat?

I hope you are right re the listing. If so, my cats are okay. You're right re the grains, I think--unless there is some special dietary consideration, which makes grain consumption advisable. SignatureJean B. > Is wheat gluten always listed as such in the ingredients? Can > it appear just as wheat? Can it be in some other ingredient, > which does not have its components spelled out? ........I think they have to list it as wheat gluten according to labeling laws. You'd have to check AAFCO specs for that, but I'm pretty sure. For instance with ingredients listed as meat by-products they can use anything that's available.....and cheapest at the moment. But corn and wheat is split into different components: corn, corn gluten - wheat, wheat flour, wheat middlings, wheat gluten ------ and I think it is required to list each component. OTOH pet food companies are not required to change the labels on their foods for 6 months after changing the formulation. buglady take out the dog before replying >> Is wheat gluten always listed as such in the ingredients?

I am very skeptical of the low number of deaths reported. How many people on these newsgroups have posted about losing a pet, or at least having one severely ill because of the tainted food? The only reason I found out about the recall is because my friend now has a cat in the hospital with kidney failure who might not make it, and this is way up in NB Canada. This leads me to believe it may be more widespread than it seems. >> > Wow, this is really scary stuff, especially since so many foods are >> > affected.

There are maybe 150 more or less active posters on this group. For anyone here to have this personally happen means that it must be pretty widespread. Well, one way to check. I called my vet. The reception people report no apparent increase in cases but one of the vets will call back if they have anything different to say. There are always people who seem to enjoy scaring vulnerable people! Alerting people is one thing. From what I've read there in no epidemic regarding this matter and it looks like the issue is under control..

I think this matter has been handled better then most human incidence Take a can of anything you feed to your pets and cans your family eats and read the labels..if it's more then three lines.. we're all potentially in trouble. ;) >> No, I didn't keep the numbers, nor the varieties involved, and I can't >> get [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > This is the direct link to affected IAMS and Eukanuba products: > http://us.iams.com/iams/en_US/data_root/html/product_article/ProductRecallList.htm Thank you!

Does anybody know if a certain amount of this food has to be ingested before it becomes fatal? > Does anybody know if a certain amount of thisfoodhas to be ingested > before it becomes fatal?- Hide quoted text - My (10.1 lb., four-year-old, otherwise healthy) cat experienced kidney failure after consuming only three pouches of tainted food over a period of two days. Dried vomit (containing the offending food) that I found hidden under a table Thursday evening suggests that he began having problems after the second pouch, at the latest. My five-year-old 18.5 lb. male ate only one pouch (and some gravy from a second) before refusing to eat the food. He appears healthy at this point, but I will be taking him in tomorrow for bloodwork just to be on the safe side. A third cat (11 y/o 10.3 lb. female) consumed 1/3 pouch, and also seems to be doing fine. I am monitoring her, but have been advised that she should be OK. That's been my experience.. it could be different for others. Because we don't yet know what the food was contaminated with, I suppose it's possible that some animals may have a higher tolerance to the substance than others.

I think so..it certainly applies to humans especially when you consider we consume contaminated food to some degree almost daily. Someone should check that wheat gluten for Fenitrothion. I hear that stuff can be found in wheat and gluten imported from Australia! It is BAD for CATS, AND it is HIGHLY toxic to bees too (aren't the bees dying also?). Others may be using Fenitrothion too in other applications! That stuff might be in your food too, since many things you eat contain wheat gluten possibly laced with Fenitrothion also (FDA seems to be saying it's okay if it's mixed with flour first if fed to humans to dilute it - ha, yummy!). Barf, huh? |
