Drs. Foster and Smith foods voluntary recall/hold for testing

[Vela]

I just spoke with their customer service on the phone, while placing an order for something else. We started discussing the recall and she told me that they have put a voluntary recall/hold on some of their dog and cat foods that contain rice gluten. I am not sure of all of the varieties at this point, and it is not up on their website. She told me you can still order it online but it's backordered and none is being shipped out until they make sure it's safe. Just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone who might be using it. If you do feed any of their foods it might be wise to call ther customer service and get more information.

By looking at the website:

Dry Adult Dog Food Lamb & Brown Rice Formula
Adult Lite Dog Food Chicken & Brown Rice Formula
Dry Senior Dog Food Formula

None of the canned dog food

Adult Dry Lite Cat Food - Chicken & Brown Rice

I really applaud the companies who are being proactive about making sure ther foods are safe.

Thanks for letting us know Vela, I hope you don't mind but I quoted what you wrote in another forum.

When will this end? I buy treats from them, but not food. I'll have to check them out. I suppose this is about the rice? I doubt the treats have rice in them. Thanks for the info.

She didn't mention any treats so those are probably okay, but I don't know for sure.

Hi - could you please include the link to their web site where it says this? As I am looking and I don't see it. In Fact, I see a message which says their food is NOT being recalled. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/genera...N=2002&gid=568 thanks
