YT 2000 Club Member | nature's variety.. this is a cross post from another forum.. I know some of you use this product.. so I thought that I would post about it. The woman that I got this info from has wrote the company and will post agian when she hears back from them.. I went into San Francisco’s Pet Food Express today, as always on the lookout for treats that Kyrie can and will eat. (Don’t tell me to cook, dudes; I’m already making their food, I just want to buy some freaking cookies!) And there was a big sign on the door when I walked in, announcing that a number of Nature’s Variety foods had been removed from the shelves (I’ve added a couple of paragraph breaks to improve readability): Nature’s Variety has withdrawn one lot of their freeze-dried beef and one lot of their freeze-dried chicken products due to a discrepancy between their specifications and those of the products as produced.As of today, we still have no word as to what the specific problem is or how it could affect pets, only the manufacturer’s assurance that it does not pose a hazard. We are concerned, ho waver, that because Nature’s Variety coats all of their kibbled products with a “bio-coating,” which includes freeze-dried chicken and beef, that whatever problem may exist in the withdrawn products could also affect their Prairie and Instinct dry food lines. Therefore, we have elected to remove all of the Nature’s Variety dry foods from our shelves until we can be confident that they are safe. Additionally, the Nature’s Variety Raw Chicken and Beef diets are identical in composition to the freeze dried diets except that the moisture has not been removed. Therefore, we are also placing a hold on their sale until the situation is clear. Their canned products are not affected. The specific products being withdrawn by Nature’s Variety are Nature’s Variety Freeze Dried Raw Beef Formula, 12 oz., UPC 769949602514, and Nature’s Variety Freeze Dried Raw Chicken Formula, 12 oz., UPC 769949601517, with a “Best if used by” date of 05/25/10.

| Hmmm, that's interesting.... I feed NV raw and kibble, so I will have to look into this. Thanks for posting!
