Nutro Products Announces Voluntary Recall of Limited Range of Dry Cat Food Products (May 21)
Thu, 21 May 2009 13:07:00 -0500
The cat food is being voluntarily recalled in the United States and ten additional countries. This recall is due to incorrect levels of zinc and potassium in our finished product resulting from a production error by a US-based premix supplier.
Website and details below - includes list of recalled items.
Thanks for posting this.This has made my cat really sick.She has been vomitting for a week.Normally,Nutro is the best-IMO,and from what I understand it's not Nutro's fault,so we will continue to use this company.I did throw away the recalled bag of food,and started with a new one.
Thanks so much for the post. I am so terrified that we will have another epidemic of dead pets like we did a couple of years ago from the tainted food. I have trouble with links on my slow computer, so can you list what products are being recalled? Thanks again for the heads up.
