Menu Foods Pet Food Recall March 2007

Authored by: Phyllis DeGioia, Editor

A pet food recall has been initiated by Menu Foods of Ontario, Canada. For the most current information, see the manufacturer's recall website. Menu Foods sent out a press release stating announcing "the precautionary recall of a portion of the dog and cat food it manufactured between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style pet food in cans and pouches manufactured at two of the Fund's United States facilities. These products are both manufactured and sold under private-label and are
contract-manufactured for some national brands."

The recall website at Menu Foods can be overloaded, but you can also check for information at the Animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell University.

According to the FDA, "There has been a small number of reported instances of cats and dogs in the United States that developed kidney failure after eating the affected product...Dogs or cats who have consumed the suspect feed and show signs of kidney failure (such as loss of appetite, lethargy and vomiting) should consult with their veterinarian."

If your pet has had any of the listed foods, we urge you to discuss it with your veterinarian and see if any diagnostic tests are warranted.
