Eukanuba, Iams & Science Diet also may be involved. Makes some of
the opinions of what's the best food to feed you dogs seem silly now, since
they all can be made by the same company under vastly different names.

WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration is warning pet owners of a massive pet food recall. Menu Foods, Inc. is recalling 60 million containers of wet pet food.

The Canadian-based manufacturer is recalling all its "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food produced between December 3 and March 6. The company distributes the products to numerous retailers in the form of cans and pouches and under different brand names.

The products are sold stores including Wal-Mart, PetSmart, Pet Valu and Kroger.


Consumer complaints prompted the recall and so far nine cats and one dog died from kidney failure after eating the product. Brands like Eukanuba, Iams and Science Diet may be involved, officials with the company said.

Officials are warning pet owners to immediately stop feeding the contaminated foods to their pets and should see pet's veterinarian if they develop signs of kidney failure, including loss of appetite, vomiting or lethargy.

The company said they have conducted tests, but are so far unable to locate the source of the contamination.

A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates is available from the Menu Foods Web site at menufoods.com.
