FDA Alerts Pet Owners to Voluntary Recall of Premium Edge Cat Food.
Diamond Pet Foods has recalled the following
date codes of;
Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat and Premium Edge Hairball Cat
with
codes of:
RAF0501A22X - 18-lb. bag
RAF0501A2X - 6-lb. bag
RAH0501A22X - 18-lb.
bag
RAH0501A2X - 6-lb. bag Veterninarian Dr. Jean Hofve writes, "The pet food in question is low in thiamine, which can cause neurological
symptoms and brain damage. More than a dozen cases have been confirmed.
It is recommended that pet owners whose cats have eaten the food specified
below contact their veterinarian.
Diamond is also asking consumers to return the
potentially tainted food.The calls from pet owners or veterinarians regarding
this issue! have been centered in the Rochester, NY area.
Diamond says that
all retail outlets shipped the above lots were contacted, asking them to pull
the product from the store shelves; and to contact their customers to have them
to check the date code of the food. If you or anyone you know has these date
codes of Premium Edge cat food, Diamond is asking you to return them to the
retailer (presumably for a refund).
Nutro is still in the consumer hot seat. One cat guardian lost her cat after
feeding Nutro Complete Care Adult Ocean Fish Flavor back in early September.
She
sent a sample to the Pet Food Product Safety Alliance for testing, which
reported 2100 ppm (parts per million) of zinc. Only 250 ppm of zinc was listed
on the bag, and she reported that two Nutro representatives have told me is the
maximum found in any of the recalled food.Read more: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/nutro.html#ixzz0U7lxukNv
Nutro Products recently recalled! some of its puppy foods because a worker's
plastic hard hat was "sucked" into some machinery, and the bags of puppy food
may have plastic in them. For specifics, please click here." We can not stress this enough. If you pet vomits after eating, if they refuse to eat a pet food, assume it is the food, not the pet. Your pet is not fussy, your pet knows something that you do not know. Their food may be toxic. Your pets trust you to be vigilant in this matter.
