Dog Food Recall - get your update here


Recommended Posts

Here's a great site to stay up-to-date on the dog food recall:

One of the links on the above site suggests that there is a possibility of Iams DRY food also causing illness. There have been 3 reports of this, all still unconfirmed as of yet, Iams Dry food has not been recalled. Here is the link for that story:

Betsy - thanks for posting the sites. I am NOT happy to learn that Menu makes Innova products - I feed EVO to my dogs. I do wish naturapet had been upfront about this on their website.

 

I feed EVO also. I wasn't aware Menu Foods was involved with Innova wet. Guess you can never know for sure unless you feed a home based diet.

The information is from the first website posted by Betsy under "Pet Food Express Restricts Sales" dated 3/22/07. It showed a number of brands that have not been disclosed as being manufactured by Menu Foods. The "good" news is that these foods - at least Innova - was manufactured at a different plant owned by Menu Foods.

I was very suprised too, to find out that Innova would even go near Menu Foods plant. But Timberwolf will not tell where their foods are made. I sure hope Orijen comes to the states soon.

do not contain Wheat Gluten. Dry diets made at their own plant in Mishawaka,

IN.

the Diamond Plant in Sacramento, CA.

 

Timberwolf Organics: Just released one canned diet and working on additions,

it is unsure where this is made, but due to the size of Menu Foods I highly

doubt it is being done there. Kibble was at one point being co-packed

somewhere in PA but I've heard rumors that it is now being made out of the Diamond

Plant. I cannot confirm this and the company will not give out information.

Dang it... can someone tell me a food that delivers that feeds dogs and cats and that I can KNOW where they're made? I was gonna do Timberwolf, but it doesnt say where its made...

 

A food called Orijen is made in Canada, but is slowly making it's way to the states. It is a food that is 70% Meats and 30% Fruits and Veggies. It's really nice quality...one of the best IMO. I can't wait to feed it when it makes it's way into the US.

I just wanted to bump this post as there have been additions to the list of food recalled, including some not by Menu Foods, so you may not get complete information if you are only looking at Menu Foods lists. Del Monte has recalled some foods as well - because of the possibility of the same contaminent. Here's the story from Howl911:

I feed Jack Exclusive brand Chicken and Rice dry kibble. It's really good. He seems to do great with it, and it's made in the USA. I'm not sure what state but I'll check into it. It's low waste so I go through a 35 lb. bag about every two months.

 

I can't believe how many brands of food are being recalled. It's amazing. I almost don't feel safe feeding them anything.

Ugh.

 

Now Howl 911 is taking aim, (and rightfully so, I guess) at Blue Buff.

 

There is going to be nothing left to feed my barn cats. I am going to have to just tell them to catch more on their own. Except then they'll get bird flu or Potomac fever or rabies.

 

Bugger. :rolleyes:
