LOL - And I was sad that my dog's brand WASN'T on the list!!! (Just kidding!!!) I will be glad for the time that we are dogless, but death by dogfood probably isn't the way I want him to go.

You know, the company b!tches about how much money it's going to cost them to recall the food, but what about the people who lost their pets that were a part of the family? For quite a lot less money spent in better R&D, this might have been avoided.

Mighty Dog recall -- from the Purina website:


Purina to voluntarily withdraw Mighty Dog® 5.3 ounce pouch products in response to Menu Foods recall
No other Purina products affected


St. Louis, Missouri, March 16, 2007 . . . . Nestlé Purina PetCare Company today announced that as a precautionary measure, it is voluntarily withdrawing its 5.3 ounce Mighty Dog® brand pouch products that were produced by Menu Foods, Inc. from December 3, 2006 through March 14, 2007. This withdrawal is in response to the recall initiated earlier today by Menu Foods, a contract manufacturer that does limited business with Purina as well as with other pet food manufacturers. Only Mighty Dog 5.3 ounce pouch products are being withdrawn by Nestlé Purina, including those pouches contained in multi-packs. Importantly, no Mighty Dog canned products, or any other Purina products are affected by Menu’s recall.

While Purina has no indication of any product quality or safety issues specifically related to our Mighty Dog pouch products, Purina is taking this proactive action out of an abundance of caution in response to the Menu Foods recall.

Consumers who have the indicated Mighty Dog 5.3 ounce pouch products should discontinue feeding them to their dogs and can receive the full replacement value of the withdrawn products by calling 1-800-551-7392.

The Mighty Dog pouch products and pouches in multi-pack cartons have code dates of 6337 through 7073, followed by the plant code 1798. This information is located on the bottom or back panel of the pouches or cartons. Specifically, if the code following the “Use By” date begins with four numbers from 6337 to 7073 followed by the plant code 1798, then the pouch is included in this voluntary withdrawal.

Purina regrets any inconvenience and apologizes for any concern caused by this product withdrawal. The Company will continue to take any and all actions necessary to ensure the quality and safety of our products.

As I understand it, some stores sells Menu Foods products under their own name brand, like Hy-Vee, Winn Dixie, Publix, and Food Lion to name a few.

Mod, would it be possible to move this thread so that others who don't necessarily shop at PetSmart is aware of this recall?

Thanks Emily-- we do have one of the Iams pouches for a "special occasion" meal!
