Food Institute Issues Statement in Response to Recall of Wet Pet
Food Products
WASHINGTON
-- The Pet Food Institute issued the
following statement in response to today's announcement of a recall
of
some wet pet food products manufactured by Menu Foods:
Member company
Menu Foods and by the Food and Drug Administration have
announced a recall of some wet pet food products. Only wet food
labeled
"Cuts in Gravy" and manufactured by Menu Foods is affected
by the
recall.
DRY PET
FOOD OF ANY BRAND IS NOT AFFECTED.
Like the
manufacturers of human food, the members of the Pet Food
Institute take extreme measures to ensure the quality and safety
of
their products. In the event of a quality or safety concern, our
members take proactive action. In this instance the manufacturer
has
taken steps to remove all "Cuts and Gravy" products that
they produce
from the stream of commerce and is communicating essential information
to consumers in both a timely and helpful manner. It is because
of this
commitment to quality and safety that U.S. pet food products set
the
industry standard globally.
About
the Recall:
The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style cat and
dog food in cans
and pouches manufactured by Menu Foods between December 3, 2006
and
March 6, 2007. The list of affected brands is attached and posted
at
http://www.menufoods.com/recall.
This posting
gives a detailed listing of the code dates and product
names which the company has asked that you do not use.
Please send
any inquiries to Pet Food Institute at 202-367-1120
or info@petfoodinstitue.org
We will respond as quickly as possible.
Remember
ONLY wet "chunks in gravy" foods are involved in this
recall.
