Food Recall Notice – May 9 – 2012
From our friends at Healthy Spot!
Dear Loyal Customers,
We wanted you to be aware of the recent voluntary pet recalls of certain dry pet foods due to possible Salmonella contamination and the brands that they will be affecting. The incident occurred initially with one brand that we do not carry, but since the manufacturing is shared the recall has expanded to include all of the brands produced at the specific facility. Currently, the following list of brands has been issued a voluntary recall on specific batches of food.
- Wellness
- Natural Balance
- Kirkland Signature
- Apex
- Canidae
- Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
- Country Value
- Diamond
- Diamond Naturals
- Premium Edge
- Professional
- 4Health
- Taste of the Wild
The recall has only been issued for products coming out of a South Carolina facility. This only affects products distributed in the following U.S. states and Canada.
- Alabama
- Florida
- Georgia
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- Maryland
- Michigan
- Mississippi
- New York
- North Carolina
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- Canada
This does not affect any foods distributed to California. We currently carry the Canidae, Premium Edge, and Taste of the Wild pet food lines. However, since the foods we receive are produced in a different facility in California, they have not been affected by the recall.
Due to our stringent food standards and in order to insure that we continue to provide the best quality products for our clients, we have decided that we will be phasing out the brands involved as a preventative measure to any risks of ingredients or manufacturing with these lines in the future. We currently carry alternatives to these lines and have started to identify several additional new lines as well. We will put these new options through our evaluation process and consider adding them to our lineup of foods.
To ensure peace of mind, we will accept the return of foods from these brands and help you make the decision on what foods would be a proper and comparable match to convert to.
We will keep you posted with any further developments. To find out more information regarding the recent voluntary recalls, please go to the FDA website here.
We appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,
Andrew & Mark
