Emperor Devon Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Yikes. I'm glad I live in Washington. Now I'll know to never switch my cats over to those brands.
ChAiNz.2da Posted December 31, 2005 Author Posted December 31, 2005 Updated the article. Apparently it's been exported to several countries as well.. so it's not just restricted to the U.S.

Vladimir-Vlada Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 The FDA said some of the recalled product had been exported to at least 29 countries, including several in the European Union. Those countries have been notified, the agency said. HA HA HA! My country isn't a member of the European Union.
Lynk Former Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I'm sure some humans who eat pet food are getting a very bad surprise right now...
Sabretooth Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 HA HA HA! My country isn't a member of the European Union. 29 Countries including the Union. That means there are some countries outside the Union that are infected. And yours may be it! *Uncle Sam pose*
Vladimir-Vlada Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 That means there are some countries outside the Union that are infected. And yours may be it! We import dog food from England.
Darth333 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 It says 29 countries including some EU countries so there are good chances that it has crossed the border.
Aash Li Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Hmm... doesnt say what pet food is affected besides Diamond. But my kitty eats Whiskas, and Purina dry food.
ChAiNz.2da Posted January 1, 2006 Author Posted January 1, 2006 Hmm... doesnt say what pet food is affected besides Diamond. But my kitty eats Whiskas, and Purina dry food. From what I gather, it's just these brands: - Diamond - Country Value - Professional and bears the date codes of March 1, 2007, through June 11, 2007I believe you're in the clear
Jae Onasi Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Glad I live in California. I feed my kitty Ringo only the finest anyway! Actually he's not my cat, I'm his human! Perscription fiber diet! Don't ask! Sounds like my cats! We have to do hairball control-weightloss-senior cat type food. Whew.
Fuu Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Good thing my dog hates dog food Mine too... XD. Given the choice betweein Purina One and Iams <cat> Mira <my dog> will choose Iams every time. I have to put up Kitty's food when she isin't eating. BOT: Living in Ca. has its perks, including not having to worry about poison dog food. XD Fuu
