Petfood Recall

I actually wrote this post in December, I think, but due to the fact that somewhere out there there are a multitude of pet foods that should be recalled, I’m leaving it in. Most of them should probably be recalled, not just because of the horrifying things that are in them, but also because of the things that aren’t.

Kroger Co. said yesterday that it is recalling packages of three pet-food brands it sold mostly the South, in 19 states.

The pet foods may contain may contain a poisonous chemical produced by the mold known as aflatoxin. It has been detected in Kroger Value, Pet Pride and Old Yeller brands of dog and cat food. The company doesn’t know how aflatoxin may have ended up in 10 versions of its pet food. Corn, which is now usually the largest ingredient in most pet foods naturally  produces aflatoxin.

Here is a reasonably complete list of affected products:

• PET PRIDE CAT FOOD, 1
• 8 LB PET PRIDE TASTY BLEND POULTRY &SEAFOOD CAT FOOD, 3.5 LB
• PET PRIDE CAT FOOD, 3.5 LB , PET PRIDE KITTEN FORMULA FOOD, 3.5 LB
• KROGER VALUE CAT FOOD, 3 LB  , KROGER VALUE CHUNK DOG FOOD 50LB
• OLD YELLER CHUNK DOG FOOD, 50 LB
• PET PRIDE TASTY BLEND POULTRY &SEAFOOD, 18 LB
• KROGER VALUE CHUNK DOG FOOD, 15 LB
• OLD YELLER CHUNK DOG FOOD, 22 LB 

There is also a huge list of human foods and drugs on the list as well, so you may want to check the Kroger website
