I'm sure we all know about the pet food recall. The FDA called me back today to take the report on my two cats dying from what I believe is this issue. It is becoming wider and wider. Be sure to check with your manufacturer and be sure to check any older cans or pouches of food you may have purchased December-January. Report any sicknesses to the FDA and the mfr. They are still investigating common threads.

FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company. This listserv covers mainly Class I (life-threatening) recalls. A complete listing of recalls can be found in the FDA Enforcement Report at: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/Enforce.html
