Evangers Canned Cat Food

So does anyone know where there is a recall list with brand, flavor, and date info that is NOT PDF?

The FDA 'official' recall list is on their website

Babs;
Do you have an updated version of Adobe?

Cindy, do you know if it has spices, salt or flavorings in it?  What brand is it?  I've found some canned varieties, but they usually have at least something else in them.  Even a low sodium one would be ok, but I don't want to take any chances with onions or something like that (unidentified "natural flavors" or "spices").  Thanks.

We are actually supposed to start a new job with her again on the 28th. I will have my daughter note that info. for you when she goes that first day.

If using plain canned chicken for humans, they better make sure to add taurine.

The kitty also eats dry cat food.

Yes, I do have an updated version of Adobe.  Each time I have tried to dl an adobe file and it offers me the opportunity to dl the most recent version, I have done it, but still, pdf files freeze me up and require a reboot.
I have finally given up.  I have a friend who also has the same problem.

It may be a Windows problem, since there are many of those, nevertheless, I have used up my patience and just don't dl pdf files any longer.

I am eagerly awaiting Tuesday so I can return my Evangers  Turkey and squash, and seafood cavier etc.  I am desperately hoping I'll be able to get the mackerel and that they will like it.  I should not have bought 2 cases without a promise that I could return it for a refund.  I was sooo relieved to be able to find someone who sells it, I cast caution to the winds.  :-)
They will give me a store credit, but they don't carry EVO or Orijen, soooo.
We will see what happens.
 A lady in the supermarket told me she buys canned Icey Point Alaskan salmon, and her cats LOVE IT for treats a couple times a week.
Well, I searched and found some, and my cats WILL NOT EAT IT.
It is just salmon, water and salt.  I did think it was very salty,  and I tried to rinse off the salty water, but still they wouldn't eat it.

My friend's cats LOVE her people frozen shrimp.  My cats WON'T TOUCH THEM!!  '
Every time I open a can of Evangers, they eat about half of it, and then walk away, leaving a half a can, which eventually dries out and must be thrown away.  At $.89 a can, I can't afford that, and they won't eat it if it has been refrigerated.  Considering how many cats I have, it is amazing that I can't get a whole 5.5 can of Evangers eaten at one time.

Shop Rite Sardines in aspic:
Does anyone know who manufactures  ShopRite sardines in aspic??
My friend's cats love that a couple times a week,  the can says it is nutritionally incomplete because it is nothing but the sardines and aspic, no vitamins or minerals.  They have been eating it for a long time a couple times a week as a treat.  So far they are fine.
I can't find it on the recall list at Menu.  And I see Chanango Valley makes some of Shop Rite's  dry dog food, some was recalled.  I haven't been able to find out who makes Shop Rite's canned food.

Babs;
Re; Adobe, do you HAVE to have the updated version? In other words, ignore the offer...I do. Unless it says when I try to DL...'you can't do it...bla, bla, bla.' Also, you might be out of storage space............?

Re; Half eaten food. Half is better than none.

Also, how much are you trying to feed at each meal? Example; I have 3 adult cats, and I divide 3-ways a 5.5oz can at each meal. If one of the cats I know tends to eat a little less of that flavor, I give her a bit less. Conversely, if one of them eats more....you get the idea. Also, some days (it's very rare now though, I admit) one cat will just not eat that much.

Try giving half of what you normally do, and store the rest...until they get used to the food. If they don't like the stored stuff cold...you can warm it slightly.

Just some suggestions.

Maybe you should get a Mac.

Thanks Cindy.  I appreciate the effort.

For those of you who said the chicken flavors Evangers cat food looked very dark, with black specks, unappetizing  etc.  have you seen the videos on this site:
http://www.evangersdogfood.com/about/television1.html

the video from the pet expo, shows the owner taking a bite of the chicken, out of the dish, and it looks like big pieces of people chicken, the same color, nice and light and appetizing etc.  Take a look.

I would think my cats should like that, but it certainly doesn't look like some of the descriptions of the chicken cat food in this thread.  Sooo, does anyone have any idea what flavor this good looking chicken might be??

Could it be the kosher chicken?  Could it be the dog food and not the cat food?
I am wondering why there is such a disparity between the descriptions in this  thread about the chicken flavors and the appearance of the chicken in this video. 
Could the the video be simply an advertising gimmick.  OR..... are there flavors I don't know about, or....

[Babs]

Ok, I think I may have answered my own question.  I think the appetizing looking chicken was DOG food.  They have a photo of the whole chicken on the label of the big can of dog food.

I think I am going to try some for my cats.  Don't see why I couldn't if there is nothing in it but chicken and water.
Hope it isn't one of those whole mela chickens,  but it is supposed to be ORGANIC.
btw, several of my cats ate the evangers turkey and squash today!!!
So the whole can was eaten, for the first time.  My old sick cats ate it, and my fluffy main coon type ate it.  Maybe it is just a matter of time, as someone else here said.

You're getting a great deal on canned food. 89 cents!! The cheapest place here sells the turkey for 1.19/can and the mackerel for 1.29/can.  I can't get California Natural cans any cheaper than 1.29/can, and the cheapest food they have is Felidae at .99/can. So consider yourself lucky!

Davis,

Well, we started at this client's today, and she didn't buy chicken this time, she bought Starkist, and Bumblebee Chunk light tuna in the 3.0 oz cans.

Both brands' ingredients are identical; light tuna, water, vegetable broth, and salt.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful on this. She had chicken when we cared for her kitty last year.
