Hills (science diet) recalled some dry cat food today as it has the gluten in it.

I figure if they are pulling the dry science diet cat food that the dog food will be next. Murfee eats science diet...or should I say used to. I may just cook his food myself. At least I will know what is in it.

I feed Iams dry to my adult dogs, (Tucker eats Science Diet) so I wanted to make sure that the dry was not involved in the recall. This is taken directly from the Iams.com website:
"P&G Pet Care Update
March 30, 2007

As promised, we are continuing to keep you updated on the Menu Foods recall.

We know the Menu Foods recall has caused concern, frustration and anger among many pet lovers, including many of our own employees and their families. We want you to know that we care deeply, and we continue to take action on your behalf.

We want to comment on the new announcement today (Friday, March 30, 2007) by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) that they have found a substance called melamine in the wheat gluten of recalled products, and not the aminopterin, as earlier suspected by the New York Foods Laboratory.

We can reassure you:

First, there is no melamine or aminopterin in any of our Iams and Eukanuba dry pet foods on store shelves.

In fact, Iams and Eukanuba dry pet foods to DO NOT contain wheat gluten. Our dry dog and cat foods are made exclusively by P&G Pet Care and not by Menu Foods. "

This was taken directly from the Hills website:

"Hills Pet Nutrition, Inc. Voluntarily Recalls Single Product, Prescription Diet? m/d? Feline Dry Food, Only Product Containing Wheat Gluten
Topeka, KS (March 30, 2007) - In accordance with its over-riding commitment to pet health and well-being, Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food from the market. Hill's is taking this precautionary action because during a two-month period in early 2007, wheat gluten for this product was provided by a company that also supplied wheat gluten to Menu Foods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests of wheat gluten samples from this period show the presence of a small amount of melamine. Prescription Diet m/d Feline Dry represents less than one half of one percent of all Hill's products.

This is the only product Hill's currently sells in the United States and Canada that contains wheat gluten from any supplier. No other Hill's Prescription Diet? or Science Diet? products are affected by this voluntary recall. Hill's Science Diet Savory Cuts Feline canned cat foods, manufactured by Menu Foods, were previously withdrawn from the market as a precaution. Together with this earlier withdrawal, less than 1% of all Hill's products have been affected.

The voluntary recall of Hill's Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food involves discontinuation of all retail sales and product retrieval from sellers. This recall does not include Prescription Diet m/d Feline canned food which contains no wheat gluten."

I'm sure that there are probably more deaths than the 100 estimated deaths.
That is horrible and I am already freaking out. I just started him on a wet food that is within the low protein levels . I have not heard anything about the brand Evanger's . Ugh!! I will do some more research and probably end up cooking homemade dogfood.

I think its only a matter of time before they start recalling more dry foods.

And, I am still certain that the rat poison was only a cover up for something the FDA is hiding.

GracieLou · 03-30-2007, 07:30 PM

Meanwhile, Hill's Pet Nutrition recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food. The food included wheat gluten from the same supplier that Menu Foods used. The recall didn't involve any other Prescription Diet or Science Diet products, said the company, a division of Colgate-Palmolive Co.
