Sunday, March 25, 2007
Q: Can you give me any information on the recent recall of pet food that was supposedly contaminated with poison? Any phone numbers or hot lines I can call about recalled products?
A: The possible contamination with wheat gluten in pet foods came to light last week. One of the companies involved is Menu Foods, based in Ontario, Canada.
A complete is of the recalled products along with their product codes, descriptions and production dates is now online for interested pet owners to access at www.menufoods.com/recall.
The company has also designated two phone numbers that pet owners can call for information. Call toll-free at 1-866-463-6738 or 1-866-895-2708.
