    Purina Pet Food Recall: The Products Affected

    On March 15 of this year, the FDA was alerted to the fact that dogs and cats were becoming ill and some were dying from the consumption of certain types of pet food. After an investigation into the matter, the FDA discovered that there were contaminants in some of the vegetable proteins that were imported from China into the United States to be used in a variety of different pet foods. Many companies that manufacture pet food were affected by this news, and the Purina pet food recall became one of many over the next two months. While the discovery and subsequent recall caused much concern for pet owners all over the United States, it appears that all of the food has been found and taken off of store shelves, so that pet food can be considered safe once again.

    Types of Purina Pet Food Recalled

    Throughout the recall process, only two types of Purina pet food were recalled. Mighty Dog wet dog food pouches were the first Purina pet food recalled, and the affected packages were dated from November 8, 2006, and March 14, 2007. Another Purina pet food recalled soon after was the ALPO Prime Cuts in the 13.2 oz. and 22 oz. sizes. To find the codes of the affected products in the ALPO line, you can log onto the Purina website and look for the page of Purina pet food recalled. Or you can check the FDA website at www.fda.gov for more information as well.

    Since the Purina pet food was recalled, Purina has further tightened its already stringent quality control guidelines to ensure that there will be no additional problems with its pet food products. They have also added pages to their website about Purina pet food that was recalled, as well as more information about why the food was recalled and why the problem will not repeat in the future. In fact, this summer, Purina plans to stop purchasing wheat gluten from China, which was the ingredient that was at the source of all of the trouble with so many pet food manufacturers. Purina also now tests all wheat gluten for melamine and cyanuric acid, which were the ingredients found in the Purina pet foods recalled.

    While the pet food recall was an unsettling and unfortunately sad event for some pet owners, it appears that the problem with the pet foods has been identified and effectively eliminated. When it comes to the Purina pet food recalled, pet owners can rest assured that Purina has taken the appropriate steps to avoid any problems in the future.
