                                         IMPORTANT NOTICE-- RECALL

                              Re: Expansion of Voluntary Recall due to a Possible Health Risk

  

                    The Proctor & Gamble Company (P&G) issued a voluntary recall on July 25th, 2010 of two specific lots of its therapeutic renal dry cat food in North America due to a possible salmonella health risk. As a further precaution, P&G is voluntarily expanding its recall to include additional veterinary formulas and some specialized Eukanuba dry pet food.

These products are made in a single, specialized facility. In cooperation with the FDA, P&G determined that some products made at this facility have the potential for salmonella contamination. No salmonella-related illnesses have been confirmed. As a precautionary measure, P&G is suspending operations at this facility and recalling all dry pet food products manufactured at this plant, which include:

Iams Veterinary Dry Formulas: All dry sizes and varieties

Eukanuba Naturally Wild: All dry sizes and varieties

Eukanuba Pure: All dry sizes and varieties

Eukanuba Custom Care Sensitive Skin: All dry sizes

No canned food, biscuits/treats or supplements are affected by this annoucement.

Consumers who have purchased these dry pet foods should discard it. People handling dry pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product. In an effort to help keep both pets and family members healthy, the FDA provides safe pet food handling tips on their website. A list of these tips can be shared with your clients at: www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm048182.htm. 

Concerned pet owners may be directed to P&G toll-free at 877-340-8823.
