Nutro
Products has announced a voluntary recall of select varieties of
NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® COMPLETE CARE® Dry Cat Foods
and NUTRO® MAX® Cat Dry Foods with Best If Used By
Dates between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. The cat food
is being voluntarily recalled in the United States and 10 additional
countries. This recall is due to incorrect levels of zinc and potassium
in the finished product resulting from a production error by a U.S.-based
premix supplier.
Consumers
who have purchased affected product should immediately discontinue
feeding the product to their cats and switch to another product
with a balanced nutritional profile. While we have received no consumer
complaints related to this issue, cat owners should monitor their
cat for symptoms, including a reduction in appetite or refusal of
food, weight loss, vomiting, or diarrhea. If your cat is experiencing
health issues or is pregnant, please contact your veterinarian.
Consumers
who have purchased product affected by this voluntary recall should
return it to their retailer for a full refund or exchange for another
NUTRO® dry cat food product. Cat owners who have questions about
the recall should call 1.800.833.5330 between the hours 8:00 AM
to 4:30 PM CST, or visit www.nutroproducts.com.
