Recall of Pet Foods Manufactured by Menu Foods,
Inc. |
|
|
|
|
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of
Singapore has been informed that Menu Foods, Inc., a manufacturer based
in Canada is recalling all its "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food
produced at its facility in Emporia, Kansas between December 3, 2006 and
March 6, 2007. |
|
The products are packaged in cans and
pouches under numerous brand names. No dry pet food is affected by this
recall. |
|
According to the recall information
available so far, the products are sold in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. |
|
Nevertheless, the AVA is currently
carrying out investigations to determine if the products had been
exported to Singapore. |
|
In the meantime, members of the public
who have any of these products should immediately stop feeding
them to their pets. |
|
Dogs or cats who have consumed the
suspect feed and show signs of kidney failure (such as loss of
appetite, lethargy and vomiting) should consult with their
veterinarian. |
|
According to the Food and Drug
Administration in the USA, there has been a small number of
reported instances of cats and dogs in the United States that
developed kidney failure after eating the affected product. |
|
The company has undertaken extensive
testing of the pet food products in question, but to date has been
unable to find the source of the problem. |
