Food Recall Sept 12, 2008

[Freedom]

"Many of the brands involved in the recall are national brands produced at multiple facilities. A chart for all products is below. For example, PEDIGREE(R) is manufactured in numerous facilities throughout the country, and Everson represents a very small portion of the manufacturing base -- 2.7 percent of total PEDIGREE(R) production."

Click on this link, and scroll down for the chart:

Such a timely notification by the company ...

The company stopped production at the Everson facility on July 29, 2008 when it was alerted of a possible link between dry pet food produced at the plant and two isolated cases of people infected with Salmonella Schwarzengrund.

And their recall notice is dated:
For Immediate Release

Mars Petcare US Announces Nationwide Voluntary Recall

Franklin, Tennessee (September 12, 2008)—Today, Mars Petcare US announced a voluntary recall of products manufactured at its Everson, Pennsylvania facility. ...

*******************
Glad they didn't jump to any conclusions and took their good ole time
before they announced that there "may be a problem".

WHAT is going on? Why this sudden rash of tainted pet food or was there problems before that were just swept under the rug and hidden from us? It sure makes me wonder....
