Donating YT 3000 Club Member | RECALL: Dog Biscuits Sunshine Mills, Inc. Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Certain Branded and Private Label Branded Dog Biscuits Contact: Media Inquiries Earl Clements (256) 356-9541, ext. 212 Consumer Inquiries Mitzi Wammack (800) 705-2111, ext. 117 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Red Bay, Alabama, April 5, 2007 -- As a precautionary measure, Sunshine Mills, Inc. ("Sunshine"), a branded and private-label pet food manufacturer based in Red Bay, Alabama, is voluntarily recalling a portion of its branded dog biscuits made at its Red Bay, Alabama biscuit plant during part of March 2007. These brands include: Nurture Chicken & Rice, Nurture Lamb & Rice, Pet Life Large, Pet Life Extra Large, Pet Life Large Variety, Pet Life Large Peanut Butter, Lassie Lamb and Rice, and Pet Life People Pleasers Dog Treats. Private label biscuits for six of Sunshine's customers were also affected. A complete list of affected biscuit brands, sizes, and codes is available below or at our website, http://www.sunshinemills.com. Sunshine's other biscuit brands and products that include small and medium sized biscuits were not affected. It is also important to note that dry dog and cat food and soft and chewy treats for dogs or cats manufactured by Sunshine are not affected and not included in this recall. The company is taking this voluntary action of recalling the dog biscuits listed below after learning from the FDA that wheat gluten supplied to Sunshine from a specific manufacturing facility in China contained melamine. Melamine is a substance not approved for use in food. The FDA made this finding as part of its ongoing investigation into the recent pet food recall. http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls...ills04_07.html |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | UGH!!!!!!! Does anyone know if there is a FULL LIST online somewhere of all the TREATS that have been recalled?? I just cannot keep up with this anymore and it is seriously starting to freak me out! I'd like to see a list somewhere of ALL the treats that have been recalled so that I can keep up with all this crap! Does anyone know if such a list exists?

| Sad to say, but it probably wouldn't help if there was one because chances are it will never be a "full" list....it will probably continue to keep growing. Isn't that HORRIBLE???!!! But in all honesty, a list like that would be helpful because we have had so many recalls lately.

But I do wish that there was a web site out there that listed all the TREATS (not the wet/dry food, because I already have that list) that have been recalled - and maybe they could keep updating it as it grows... That way we can keep going back to see which new treats have been added to the list. I would just really like to be able to keep up with all this. I feel like I can't feed my babies ANYTHING anymore

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That's the smart thing to do - throwing out everything if unsure of the ingredients is a good idea too - |
