The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that the agency is investigating NUTRO pet food, following a series of unexplained illnesses and deaths. Consumers have been complaining for more than two years that their pets have become ill after eating NUTRO products; many have recovered when they were switched to other foods. The company has steadfastly denied that its food is to blame.

Is there a Chinese connection ?
Wonder if it is made in China??????
Do they also make horse feed?
Obscure name brand? Seems obvious it is Chinese based.
Seems like about 90% of our stuff is Chinese based. Even the drywall is poison.
We are slowly being poisoned by Chinese goods and allowing it to happen.
Nutro is one of the brands that is considered a “premium” brand...only sold in pet stores. Here’s a link to their site:
Marketed as “Natural Choice”
Nutro Products is in INdustry City, CA
I just threw a bag away!
The company is claiming this is faulty info...and that there is no FDA investigation. Wonder if we could find a link on FDA site to verify whether or not there is an investigation.

Here’s the FDA page...can’t find a word about Nutro...maybe this is bogus as Nutro claims.

nutro was recommended by many for its high nutritional value. i believe nutro is owned by an investment/buyout fund (correct me if i am wrong). to cut costs, nutro obviously replaced something, possibly from china.

I noticed the Blue Buffalo brand was recalled in ‘07 . Hopefully they worked out the kinks since our little dog eats that brand. (along with Solid Gold pet food)
See post #11. Nutro has been recalled at one time.
They replaced the bag for me and the new bag had the calendar. I have always wondered if someone opened the bag from the bottom and added something sinister to it and then resealed the bag.
I still use Canidae with no problems since.

How about we not ruin their reputation with vague allegations of which we have no evidence?
Appears to be only the cans and pouches.
See post #11 Nutro has been recalled.
Is this the same company that makes "Snickers"?
I see it contains soy and peas, heavy GMO crops, the evidence is already in on this, no wonder they are getting sick ...
Uhh, I DIDN’T make “allegations” .
Somebody posted n article. I asked a question.
What’s your problem?
Maybe you should get your story straight too.
