I sent Iams an email asking if they used any ingredients from China. They didn’t respond.

I sent Iams an email asking if they used any ingredients from China. They didn’t respond. ============ i STILL see IAMS at the pet stores. I buy MAX adult chicken, lamb and rice and so far it's not on any list. Other MAX products are listed so be careful. I'm feeding my dog less of canned food and becoming her private chef now most of the time, mixing in canned food a little at a time.

UPDATE ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PET FOOD RECALL

* Iams and Eukanuba pet foods are not affected by the recent pet food product recalls by Natural Balance, Blue Buffalo, or Royal Canin.

* Iams and Eukanuba pet foods currently being sold in retail stores are not formulated with any processed vegetable proteins including wheat gluten, corn gluten, or rice protein concentrate. You can be assured that these products do not contain any processed vegetable proteins from China that are the focus of this recall investigation.

* Iams and Eukanuba pet foods contain predominantly animal-based proteins from chicken, lamb, fish, and eggs. Historically, this has always been one of the key nutritional pillars that made Iams and Eukanuba high-quality, premium pet food brands. Vegetable based proteins are not a primary source of protein in our pet foods.

* Iams and Eukanuba dry pet foods do not contain melamine and are made in P&G Pet Care plants (not Menu Foods). You should feel safe and confident in feeding all Iams and Eukanuba dry foods, which are not manufactured by Menu Foods and are not part of this recall.

* You should feel secure feeding Iams and Eukanuba products. Only a small portion of our wet food products were affected by the Menu Foods recall, and these products have already been removed from retail store shelves in the U.S. and Canada.

Iams WET Foods apparently ARE affected.
