Ok it looks like we're safe on the kibble side. Here's what I got from the Nutro website:
City of Industry, Calif. (March 17, 2007) ? As a result of the Menu Foods North American recall of specific canned and small foil pouch ?wet? cat and dog food, Nutro Products, along with many other pet food companies, has announced a voluntary recall on specific pet food products manufactured for it by Menu Foods.
This recall applies to certain wet food only. No dry Nutro pet foods, biscuits or treats are impacted by this matter and no other canned or pouched Nutro products are subject to this recall.
While Menu Foods has indicated that none of the products that may have given rise to pet illness or death were Nutro?s products, there have been a very small number of reported cases of pets becoming sick and developing signs of kidney failure from ingestion of products tied to Menu Foods. Signs of kidney failure include loss of appetite, vomiting and lethargy. Consumers should immediately stop using the involved products and consult with a veterinarian if their pet shows any signs of these symptoms.
Nutro Products has engaged in this pro-active action out of an over abundance of caution for the health and well-being of our customers? pets.
The only Nutro products involved in this recall are:
Cat Pouch Products (Best by dates: December 03, 2008 through March 07, 2009);
Dog Pouch Products (Best by dates: December 03, 2008 through March 07, 2009);
Certain Dog 12.5 oz Canned Products (Best by dates: December 02, 2009 through March 07, 2010).
Consumers should immediately discontinue feeding these products to their pets.
For a detailed list of specific products please go to "Menu Foods Recall Information." Menu Foods is a contract manufacturer that makes a portion of canned and small pouch foods for Nutro Products and many other pet food manufacturers in North America. Similar such voluntary recalls are being conducted by other involved pet food manufacturers in the United States and Canada.
This voluntary product recall involves the immediate discontinuation of all sales of the involved products, removal of these products from retail stores and the isolation of product in warehouses and distribution centers.
Nutro?s products are 100% guaranteed and all returned product will be refunded. Nutro regrets any inconvenience caused by Menu Foods? recall.
