New pet food recall, involves Pedigree, Country Acres, Members Mark, Retriever, Ol' Roy, Special Kitty, Paws & Claws, Wegman's, Pet Pride, PMI Nutrition, Red Flannel, Natural, Doggy Bag.
See link for complete list and full press release.
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 we stopped production.
What bugs me is that they knew about the problem in July, but waited until now to issue a recall. And, of course, they wait until late Friday, after the stock markets close, when it will least impact them. Same as the recalls from last year. I was a spokesperson about the Menu Foods recall, for a couple of local dog groups, and I knew I had to be glued to the computer on Friday nights, because that's when they'd announce the latest recall. You'd think these companies would have learned from last year's fiasco, not to withhold this kind of info from the public too long, but obviously they haven't learned a thing.
Well, guess our food sales will increase even more. However, the Menu fiasco certainly had "supply and demand" effect on the pricing of the better foods
This is the same as the Mars food recall posted by tnp
Yes, I looked and did not see that one when I posted.
Ooooops
