Tainted pet food recall widened
TORONTO -- A pet food recall has been expanded to include
all varieties of its
wet dog and cat food, amid concerns that tainted products are still being sold.
The Mississauga, Ont. based
Menu Foods is asking retailers to remove all wet food items as a safety precaution, regardless of the date code.
In a weekend release, Menu Foods said that
even brands not on the official recall list should be taken off the shelves. There is no known risk from items not listed on the recall list, but there is concern that consumers may still buy recalled products.
The safety precaution comes days after it was discovered that some of the pet food products Menu Foods makes were tainted with rat poison. Several dogs and cats fell ill or died of kidney failure across North America.
Menu Foods says it will compensate pet owners for any vet bills caused by the tainted food.
