Pet food maker announces major recall
By ANDREW BRIDGES, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 39 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - A major manufacturer of dog and cat food sold under Wal-Mart,
Safeway, Kroger and other store brands recalled 60 million containers of wet
pet food Friday after reports of kidney failure and deaths.
An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died
after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North
American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the
reported cases of illness and death, the company said.
"At this juncture, we're not 100 percent sure what's happened," said Paul
Henderson, the company's president and chief executive officer.
The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists
of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec.
3 and March 6. The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger
Company, Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others,
Henderson said.
Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot
numbers covered by the recall, saying they would be posted on its Web site -
http://www.menufoods.com/recall - early Saturday. Consumers with questions
can call (800) 551-7392.
The company said it manufacturers for 17 of the top 20 North American
retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food
companies. Its three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1
billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made
at company plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J., Henderson said.
Henderson said the company received an undisclosed number of owner
complaints of vomiting and kidney failure in dogs and cats after they had
been fed its products. It has tested its products but not found a cause for
the sickness.
"To date, the tests have not indicated any problems with the product,"
Henderson said.
The company alerted the Food and Drug Administration, which already has
inspectors in one of the two plants, Henderson said. The FDA was working to
nail down brand names covered by the recall, agency spokesman Mike Herndon
said.
Menu Foods is majority owned by the Menu Foods Income Fund, based in
Ontario, Canada.

Here's a list of food brands recalled:
MenuFoods has published its list of recalled cat and dog
wet foods.
It appears that the recall mostly involves brands other than Iams,
including several major department store brands and Nutro. I have
copied the lists below. If you go to the URL, you can click on each
one and an Excel spreadsheet will pop up with exact type and lot
information. Please pass this information to cat and dog lists.
