Pet Food Recall – Menu Foods Products Causing Kidney Failure in Cats and Dogs

A word of warning to those of you who are buying pet food for your dogs and cats, there is a major recall of pet food by Menu Foods that makes much of the generic pet food found in supermarkets. Iams Dog and Cat food is also affected. 

A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates was available from the Menu Foods Web site, http://www.menufoods.com/recall. The company also designated two phone numbers that pet owners could call for information — (866) 463-6738 and (866) 895-2708 — but callers kept the lines busy for much of Saturday.
Menu Foods’ chief executive and president Paul Henderson told the Associated Press on Friday that the company was still trying to figure out what happened.
He said that the company had received an undisclosed number of owner complaints that dogs and cats were vomiting and suffering kidney failure after eating its products. He estimated that the recall would cost the company, which is mostly owned by the Menu Foods Income Fund, an estimated $26 million to $34 million. via Yahoo! News
