Hills Pet Nutrition recalls dry cat food

Updated Fri. Mar. 30 2007 7:53 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff CTV.CA

American officials now believe contaminated wheat gluten distributed by an unnamed U.S. company may have spread to dry pet food, despite assurances the problem was contained.
Hill's Pet Nutrition, a division of Colgate-Palmolive Co., recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food on Friday. The food included wheat gluten from the same supplier used by Menu Foods; however, Menu Foods is not affected by the latest recall because the company only manufactures wet pet food products. Earlier Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said melamine, a product used as a fertilizer in Asia and in commercial plastic products in North America, had been identified in the wet pet food. Along with Hills's Pet Nutrition's Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food, here are the lists of the recalled Menu Foods products:
Recalled cat foods
Recalled dog foods
