Natura Pet Food Recall (Innova, Healthwise, California Natural, EVO)

[Cataholic]

I feed the herd Evo, and got a text from the store where I buy it from to alert me. I need food, too. Crud.

Luckily I stopped feeding my cats Evo. Now I feed them Merrick's Before Grain dry instead and Wellness grain free canned.

Salmonella is present in any food manufacturing plant that uses chicken, or vegetables for that matter. Natura has a LONG history, and this is their first EVER recall. It's VOLUNTARY....they found salmonella in ONE bag of cat food and decided as a precautionary measure to pull that entire production window. No pets have become ill, nor people.

Considering how often human foods are recalled due to salmonella, this is not a reason to throw Natura under the bus. They didn't try to cover it up so they could keep their "No Recalls EVER!" status, they responsibly pulled everything immediately.

I agree! EVERY or most, food processing plants that deal with chicken have experienced salmonella outbreaks at some point. Ever notice that Purina and other inexpensive brands are pretty close-mouthed about what happens at THEIR plants? Honesty is the best policy and even though I don't buy these brands, I admire their caring and honesty.
