NATURAL BALANCE RECALL EXPANDS
Breaking Recall News: Thursday, April 26th, 2007
Our canned manufacturer, American Nutrition, from Ogden Utah just informed us that they are recalling all canned products made in their plant that contain rice protein concentrate. American Nutrition continued by telling us that they added this ingredient to four of our canned products without informing us.
The four products involved are:
* Chicken Formula Canned Dog Food 13 oz
* Lamb Formula Canned Dog Food 13 oz
* Beef Formula Canned Dog Food 13 oz
* Ocean Fish Formula Canned Cat Food 3 oz & 6 oz
To make sure that this does not happen in the future, we are demanding from each of our co-packers daily production record of all of our formulas before they are shipped to us. . We have reviewed all of our other products and determined that they are free of rice protein concentrate and that all of our other product labels are accurate.
There have been no illnesses reported related to feeding these formulas, however, to comply with the American Nutrition recall of the four products, we will pull all dates and batches of these four formulas. We also ask that our customers return unused product for a full credit to their store.
