Natura Pet has confirmed they are recalling at least 20 pet food
products affecting dogs, cats, and ferrets. We heard a rumor that
Natura was having a major recall due to
possible salmonella contamination. After spending half an hour on hold
with them, a friendly representative finally confirmed the recall and
gave us the list. Why they don’t have a readily available press release
on their website or through the FDA, we don’t know. The products
listed below may be contaminated with salmonella. These products appear
to be distributed nationwide through PetCo, various online retailers,
and local businesses. This is shaping up to be a large recall. Please
spread the word. Like Healing Springs Animal Hospital on Facebook for
the latest pet health & safety updates.
This is not the
first negative news since Proctor & Gamble purchased Natura Pet in
2010. In 2011, Natura Pet settled a $2.15 million class action lawsuit
for allegedly overstating the quality of their ingredients. The lawsuit
was started in 2009, one year before Proctor & Gamble became
involved with Natura Pet.
The recall affects the products named
below that also have an expiration date between 12/17/13 and 1/2/14.
If you have products possibly contanimated with salmonella, you should
discontinue use. You can contact the company (800) 532-7261 between 8
a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (CST) Monday – Friday. Good thing it’s a toll-free
number considering the possible on-hold wait time and the lack of recall
help on their website.
