Canadians fear their pets harmed by tainted food

Sun. Mar. 18 2007 9:20 AM ET CTV.ca News Staff CTV (Full Article)
Some suspected Canadian cases of food-induced kidney failure in pets are emerging in the case of some premium dog and cat foods manufactured by an Ontario-based supplier. That Streetsville, Ont. company, one of North America's largest suppliers of pet food, is recalling dog food sold throughout North America under 48 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. Stores such as such as Wal-Mart and Safeway carry the products. The recall follows complaints that 10 pets south of the border died of kidney failure after eating the foods.

A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates was available from the Menu Foods website. The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches from Dec. 3 to March 6.

This is soft food only and in President's Choice case only refer to the 24 pack of the 150 gram serving . See actual list for UPC code and package dates.
