What can YOU do about the pet food recalls?
Question by Jill: What can YOU do about the pet food recalls?
Check your state’s web site and write your Senators demanding they put a stop to ALL food imports from China until the quality of their products can be guaranteed.
Write to the FDA. Write to the White House. If we don’t stand up to this atrocity it will continue.
It’s now in human food… (yes, check your news — pigs fed contaminated food, butchered and sold to humans) how many people will die or become sick before our government does something?
Write your Senators, your state reps., anyone you can find an email address for.
Only wheat gluten importing was suspended, now it’s rice meal (or something like that) that’s contaminated — stop ALL imports!!

Did you hear another pet food recall?
Question by Morguebabe: Did you hear another pet food recall?
Mars Petcare US announced a voluntary recall of products manufactured at its Everson, Pennsylvania facility. The pet food is being voluntarily recalled because of potential contamination with Salmonella serotype Schwarzengrund. This voluntary recall only affects the United States.
Salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if there is cross contamination caused by handling of the pet food, in people as well, especially children, the aged, and people with compromised immune systems. Healthy people potentially infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. On rare occasions, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Animals can be carriers with no visible symptoms and can potentially infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
The company stopped production at the Everson facility on July 29, 2008 when it was alerted of a possible link between dry pet food produced at the plant and two isolated cases of people infected with Salmonella Schwarzengrund.
Even though no direct link between product produced at Everson and human or pet illness has been made, Mars Petcare US is taking precautionary action to protect pets and their owners by announcing a voluntary recall of all products produced at the Everson facility beginning February 18, 2008 until July 29, 2008 when it stopped production.
The company is continuing to work collaboratively with the FDA to determine the nature and source of Salmonella Schwarzengrund at the Everson facility. Since it has not yet identified the source of the Salmonella Schwarzengrund at the Everson facility, Mars Petcare US does not plan to resume production out of a commitment to the safety of pet owners and their pets, customers, and associates.
Only those products which were produced at the Everson facility are impacted by the voluntary recall.
Many of the brands involved in the recall are national brands produced at multiple facilities. A chart for all products is below. For example, PEDIGREE® is manufactured in numerous facilities throughout the country, and Everson represents a very small portion of the manufacturing base – 2.7 percent of total PEDIGREE® production.
Mars Petcare US will work with retail customers to ensure that the recalled products are not on store shelves. These products should not be sold or fed to pets. In the event that consumers believe they have purchased products affected by this voluntary recall, they should return the product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund. Specific product details and other information can be found at www.petcare.mars.com
Please find recalled pet food UPC information below.
The products listed below are made at the Everson facility on behalf of a variety of retailers. All code dates, with the exception of PEDIGREE®, are listed in a similar format as noted below:
Consumers should look for “17” as the first two digits of the second line.
Sample:
Best By Feb 18 09
17 1445 1
For PEDIGREE® the Everson code date format is as follows:
Consumers should look for “PAE” on the bottom line – the sixth, seventh and eighth digits. Sample:
PEDIGREE ® Small Crunchy Bites
Best Before 02/2009
808G1PAE01 12:00
In an effort to prevent the transmission of Salmonella from pets to family members and care givers, the FDA recommends that everyone follow appropriate pet food handling guidelines when feeding their pets. A list of safe pet food handling tips can be found at: www.fda.gov/consumer/updates/petfoodtips080307.html
Pet owners who have questions about the recall should call 1-877-568-4463 or visit www.petcare.mars.com.

Answer by Baby boy arrived March 7th!
Hence the reason I planted a large garden this past weekend to give our son as much home made and organic produce as I can. At least if I grow it in my garden I KNOW there are no pesticides used!! We have 2 apple trees that are covered in blossoms so he will get his fill of home made apple sauce too! Thanks for posting the link!

Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?
Question by Beka E: Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?
With the recent recall of peanut related products, I am left wondering what would happen to a business that continued to sell the contaminated product? Do you think there should be laws with potential fines or jail time for shop owners who continue to sell these products?
In example: there is a small corner store in my town just outside Baltimore City. The shop owner is strange and I doubt he is aware that there are recalls on peanut related products and if he does know about the recall I highly doubt that he would throw away any of his merch. I also don’t think he gets his stuff from a distributor, more like a Costco shopper. I still see peanut butter crackers, sports bars etc… on his shelves. if this makes someone sick they could die. Sol what I want to know is, Is it the consumers responsibility or should the retailer be held responsible for selling recalled product?

Q&A: Is there a website w/ comprehensive information of the pet food recall?
Question by manoarain808: Is there a website w/ comprehensive information of the pet food recall?
All of these different companies are recalling their products and it’s getting more difficult to keep up. I’m visiting all these websites and crosschecking the products I have with the various lists. I was wondering if there was a SINGLE website that kept track of the products that are being recalled.

Answer by Giddyup
When I pulled up Purina.com (the official site) (since that is what I feed my cat) – It gave me all the information I needed and websites to find more updated info as it becomes known.
By the way, Purina says that they make and use all their cat and dog food (except one brand of Mighty Dog) in their own plant right here in the good old USA.

Q&A: Has anyone heard of the Nutro Max and Natural Choice dry cat food recall?
Question by Luvsdard: Has anyone heard of the Nutro Max and Natural Choice dry cat food recall?
I am usually in dogs but just saw this online. There is a recall on Nutro cat food products and although I know it’s really not a question, I just wanted to get the word out. They are recommending not to feed this product. It’s on the Pet Supplies Plus website. Too much potassium and zinc. I just would never want to see anyone’s baby die from something like this.
Best answer:
Answer by Rachael
I actually feed my cats Nutro and have been meaning to throw it out and get some new food, as I just found out about this recently. Here’s a question though…could I still feed my remaining dry food and supplement with wet cat food (not affected by the recall)?
