Another new pet food recall!

New pet food recall announced today

New pet food recall announced today
Just like we told you on Wednesday, there's been a new pet food recall
issued today.

In what's turning into a predictable Friday night press release "dump and
run," this was just released:



Royal Canin USA is announcing today the voluntary nationwide recall of
eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products and seven Kasco dry dog and
cat food products.

This announcement is based on the company's ongoing extensive review of
its manufacturing and quality assurance testing procedures, which
identified trace amounts of a melamine derivative from tainted Chinese
rice protein concentrate provided to the company by domestic ingredient
supplier Cereal Byproducts, headquartered in Illinois.

"We deeply regret the concern and anxiety this announcement today will
cause our loyal customers and the entire pet community," Olivier Amice,
President and CEO of Royal Canin USA, said. "While a very limited number
of Sensible Choice and Kasco products in this recall tested positive for
trace levels of a melamine derivative, Royal Canin USA is voluntarily
withdrawing
these products out of an abundance of caution and because we are fully
committed to the welfare of our customers' pets."

Royal Canin USA has no confirmed cases of melamine related illness in pets
eating Sensible Choice and Kasco products affected by this recall.

Last month, Royal Canin USA announced it will no longer use any Chinese
vegetable protein suppliers.

The following eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products and seven Kasco
dry dog and cat food products with date codes between July 28, 2006 to
April 30, 2007 are being voluntarily recalled:

SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) (available in pet specialty stores nationwide)

-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Adult (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Reduced (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Lamb and Rice Reduced (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Large Breed Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Adult (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Senior (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Puppy (Dry Dog Food)

KASCO(R) (available in pet specialty stores nationwide)

-- KASCO(R) Chunks (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Hi Energy (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Maintenance (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Mealettes (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Mini Chunks (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Cat (Dry Cat Food)

Based on today's announcement, pet owners should stop feeding their pets
the eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products, seven Kasco dry dog and
dry cat food products listed. Pet owners should consult with a
veterinarian if they are concerned about the health of their pet.

I just can't believe how many foods were involved in this recall. I am thankful that none of the foods that my cats or dog eat are on the list(for now). Hopefully with time this will pass. People are so scared now to feed anything to their pets. May this get under control quickly.
