Uh oh. A lot of old people are going to go hungry. This IS a Republican administration so all old people are eating dog food, right? It's just the wealthy ones who are eating the "imported" Canadian dog food.

NBC reported that IAMS brand was included but went to the official recall site and IAMS was not on the list. Iams better get over to NBC and streighten this out fast.

(We use Iams but the dry kind.)

Another thread about the recall... perhaps those who posted the lists on the previous thread could repost them here!

I hope that Menu Foods, Inc isn't in the "pheasant under glass" side of pet foods.

I need to know that my Silver is safe.

I don't know why but I'm always surprised when these recalls occur to discover how so many products and brands are the same except the label which is designed to appeal to various mentalities of the target consumer (sigh) ...

From an earlier post: Pet deaths prompt recall of pet food

The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Company, Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said. Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot numbers covered by the recall, saying they would be posted on its Web site — http://www.menufoods.com/recall — early Saturday. Consumers with questions can call (866) 463-6738. The company said it manufacturers for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies. Its three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1 billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made at company plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J., Henderson said.

My sister told me about the recall this morning...after I mixed about a 1/4th of a can of Iams in with the dogs dry food and put some in a bowl for my cat - he loves the gravy and meat of the dog food much better than cat food.

Thankfully the code on the can wasn't listed on the Iams site.

I buy canned foods at a discount grocery for $.30 when I find them, mostly different kinds of Purina and Alpo. Rarely find Iams or other brands.

I was sweating it until I could check their website this morning. My kitties eat Friskies canned food with gravy, but thank God they weren't on the list. Here is the link to their company. I sure hope no one uses any of these brands. There's sure a lot of them.

What do you feed your cats, honey?

Iams foods are on the list. Here is the website that lists both cat and dog foods. Please check here or call the 1-800# if you are unsure. Better safe than sorry.

I thought this was important enough to ping all of my available ping lists. Please overlook if it does not affect you.

Thanks for the post and ping. It is times like these that I am glad I pay for and only use IAMS prescription only low residue dog food. The couple of bucks saved 4 times a year (big bag, little dog) wouldn't even cover a sick/poison doctor bill. IMO

From the news tonight, it sounds like the list is expanding. I went to the website but it didn't look like it was updated. The first lawsuit has been filed, that sure didn't take long.
