Some recalled pet food still on shelves
WASHINGTON, April 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned pet owners that recalled pet food might still be on the shelves of some retail establishments.
The FDA said it is urging U.S. retailers to be vigilant in removing all products associated with the pet food recall, which began March 16.
In an effort to verify the effectiveness of the recall, FDA officials conducted approximately 400 checks of retail stores and discovered some companies have not removed all of the recalled products.
"FDA's priority is to make sure that cats and dogs have safe food to eat," said Dr. Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "Many of us are pet owners and animal lovers and we want pet owners to feel assured that we are doing everything we can to make sure that all contaminated food is off the shelves."
A list of all the recalled pet food products is available at menufoods.com.
Is there a web-site with a definitive listing of all pet-food products in question?
Went to a CVS Pharmacy day before yesterday and they still had some dog food on the shelves that has been recalled.
Many people don’t watch the news, and I suspect a lot of pets (also owned by people who don’t take pets to the vet) are still being poisoned.
Scroll down a little and the recall info is on the right side of the screen.
