Nutro and Diamond Pet Food Recalls

Diamond Pet Foods announced on October 12 a voluntary recall of their Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat and Premium Edge Hairball Cat foods with the following date codes: RAF0501A22X 18lb, RAF0501A2X 6lb, RAH0501A22X 18lb, and RAH0501A2X 6lb.

Early reports from pet owners and veterinary practices show geographic trending in the Rochester, New York area and according to Diamond, patients are presenting with neurologic signs. Although the food is not tainted, it is deficient in thiamine.

Nutro recently recalled several types of pet food after learning that a factory employee’s plastic hat had made its way into the manufacturing line, was melted, and then combined with the food.

The following product may have been delivered to select Petsmart stores in CA, AZ, CO, TX and NM:

• NUTRO® ULTRA™ Puppy food for dogs with UPC 79105 51313 4.5 LB and a "Best by" date of 09/10/10





• NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® Chicken Meal, Rice and Oatmeal Formula Small Bites Puppy with UPC 79105 23050 5 LB and a "Best by" date of 09/10/10

Nutro is asking pet owners who think they may have tainted food to either return it to the store in which they bought it for a full refund or to call their Consumer Care team at 1.800.833.5330.
