Nestlé Purina Recalls Dry Cat Food in Three States

Nestlé Purina Recalls Dry Cat Food in Three States

by News Desk | Jun 28, 2011

GC Notes:  Warnings start out small -just as they are telling us no problem with the nuclear power plants in Nebraska which are exactly like the NPP in Japan; and no problem with the nuclear site in NM with millions of nuclear waste cans sitting in NW parking lots three miles from the "wild" fires (read arson fires). ( Read:approximately 20,000 barrels of nuclear waste” are stored.)  So don't trust any official reports about  cat or dog - check it out.  And don't trust the government to tell you about the danger you are in because of nuclear waste and nuclear power plants.

Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is recalling approximately 870 bags of dry cat food shipped to Colorado, Idaho and Oregon that may be contaminated with Salmonella.

These bags of dry cat food were distributed in error in February, 2011 to a small number of customers in Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, which may have further distributed the product to other Western states.

There have been no reports of illness.

The recall involves:

-- Cat Chow Naturals Dry Cat Food: 6.3 lb. bag; best by August 2012; production code 10331083 13; bag UPC code 17800 11320

Salmonella can affect animals and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product.

Pets with Salmonella infections may exhibit decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
