Massive pet food recall

This has been making the rounds, but I thought it couldn't hurt to repost it. Menu Foods "announced the precautionary recall of a portion of the dog and cat food it manufactured between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style pet food in cans and pouches manufactured at two of the Fund's United States facilities. These products are both manufactured and sold under private-label and are contract-manufactured for some national brands." Apparently at least one dog and some number of cats have died from renal failure possibly related to the food.

The contract-manufactured food includes Iams and Eukanuba:

P&G announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands. The recalled products bear the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, P&G said.

This covers a lot of different brands, so even if you don't recognize Menu Foods, go check the recall list and your pet's gooshyfood.
