Hi Guys,
Just saw this on the news:
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...VNews/20070319 /pet_food_recall_070319/20070319?hub=TopStories
There is a major recall on lower grade pet foods that the media likes to dub "premium." Just an FYI to those who feed their pets the brands listed in the news article. A number of pets have died from kidney failure etc. directly related to these foods.
I am not sure if this recall is in the US as well... but the foods being recalled were produced in Kansas.
evrything ive read says the food was produced in Canada by the diamond company dint this company have trouble before?

Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. Recalls Products in Response to American Nutrition Inc. Pet Food Recall
Contact:
Natural Balance Consumer Contact:
1-800-829-4493
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Pacoima, CA -- April 27, 2007 -- Because of the pet food recall initiated today by American Nutrition Inc., Natural Balance Pet Foods has announced it is issuing a nationwide recall of a number of canned products manufactured by American Nutrition. This action is limited to four specific Natural Balance canned formulas: Chicken Canned Dog Formula 13 oz , Beef Canned Dog Formula 13 oz, Lamb Canned Dog Formula 13 oz, and the 3oz and 6 oz Ocean Fish Canned Cat Formulas.
Natural Balance Pet Foods is taking this voluntary action after learning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed rice protein concentrate used by American Nutrition contained melamine, a substance not approved for use in food. These products are being recalled in addition to our previously recalled Venison and Brown Rice canned and bagged dog foods, Venison and Brown Rice dog treats, and Venison and Green Pea dry cat food.
Natural Balance Pet Foods has not received any indication of quality or safety issues, including pet illness, with the four withdrawn formulas. However, because American Nutrition informed the company that these four specific products may include rice protein concentrate, Natural Balance Pet Foods felt this action was necessary for the protection of its customers and their pets.
It should be noted that the products being recalled were not formulated or labeled to contain rice protein concentrate. While the FDA is investigating this, current information indicates this error is a result of a manufacturing deviation by American Nutrition. Natural Balance is working with the FDA in this matter.
