Pet Food Recalls

August 26, 2013

Pet food recalls seem to be increasing in frequency. Makes you wonder about what you are feeding our companion animals, doesn’t it? Last week, another pet food recall was announced. Some Eukanuba and Iams cat & dog foods were recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The American Veterinary Medical Association website lists pet food recalls by brands, weights and lot numbers. Please visit the site and check for yourself which products to avoid.  www.avma.org/news/issues/recalls-alerts  The FDA also does some monitoring of pet foods in the USA. fda.gov/cvm/petfoods.htm

Many people concerned about their pet’s nutrition (and safety) cook or mix their own homemade food for their pets.  There is even a magazine, “The Whole Dog Journal”, devoted to this practice.

“Raw food” diets have become very popular in the last few years. The “BARF” diet (Bones And Raw Food) was one of the first to emerge – providing detailed instructions on how to mix raw ingredients to improve pet nutrition and health.  To cater to consumer’s demands, several pet food manufacturers now offer frozen or refrigerated raw food. They can be found at the grocery store, pet food stores, or online shipped directly to your home.  Two of the larger companies are in the Seattle area!

Natura Pet Recalls Four Brands Of Cat And Dog Foods For Possible Salmonella Contamination

(jonasflanken)

It seems like only a week ago that we last shared with you the news of a pet food recall––because it was. This week, a kibble sample from Natura Pet turned up with salmonella bacteria, and the company has recalled a wide variety of cat and dog kibbles sold under the California Natural, Evo, Healthwise, and Innova brand names.

Random testing performed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture turned up contaminated food at a retailer, and the company is voluntarily recalling all food produced during the same period in order to make sure no one gets sick.

Salmonella contamination in kibble is particularly dangerous because most pet owners don’t think about cross-contamination when serving up a bowl. It’s a good idea to wash pet food bowls regularly, and especially to wash your hands after handling pet foods, even in kibble form.

In humans, the early symptoms of salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Affected pets may have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. The infection can turn fatal in all species, and you should seek medical attention if you or your pet show any of these symptoms.

Consumers with questions should call Natura at (800) 224-6123 or consult the company’s recall site.

A recall has pet owners in 19 states checking their pantry shelves.

CINCINNATI (AP) - The Kroger Co. is recalling select packages of pet food in Illinois and18 other states, saying the products might contain aflatoxin, which poses a health risk to pets.

Cincinnati, Ohio-based Kroger says it is using a customer recall notification system in an effort to help customers determine if they purchased the affected pet food.

States with Kroger-affiliated stores included in the recall are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
