NUTRO Products Recalls Cat Foods
Posted by: jn at 2:52PM MT on May 21, 2009
Nutro Products Announces Voluntary Recall of Limited Range of Dry Cat Food Products
Two mineral premixes were affected. One premix contained excessive levels of zinc and under-supplemented potassium. The second premix under-supplemented potassium. Both zinc and potassium are essential nutrients for cats and are added as nutritional supplements to NUTRO® dry cat food. This issue was identified during an audit of our documentation from the supplier. An extensive review confirmed that only these two premixes were affected. This recall does not affect any NUTRO® dog food products, wet dog or cat food, or dog and cat treats. Affected product was distributed to retail customers in all 50 states, as well as to customers in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Israel. We are working with all of our distributors and retail customers, in both the US and internationally, to ensure that the recalled products are not on store shelves. These products should not be sold or distributed further. Consumers who have purchased affected product should immediately discontinue feeding the product to their cats, and switch to another product with a balanced nutritional profile. While we have received no consumer complaints related to this issue, cat owners should monitor their cat for symptoms, including a reduction in appetite or refusal of food, weight loss, vomiting or diarrhea. If your cat is experiencing health issues or is pregnant, please contact your veterinarian. Consumers who have purchased product affected by this voluntary recall should return it to their retailer for a full refund or exchange for another NUTRO® dry cat food product. Cat owners who have more questions about the recall should call 1-800-833-5330 between the hours 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CST ---------- (UPDATE May 22) You'd think after all the major pet food recalls, Nutro could keep their original recall notice url's intact. Today they've changed them. The following url's are correct: Nutro's Website Recall Notice: http://www.nutroproducts.com/press-recall/press-recall.htmlList of Nutro Cat Food products affected: http://www.nutroproducts.com/press-recall/affected-Products.html FDA Recall Press Release: http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/nutro05_09.html |
