Pet food recall: More Iams due to Salmonella

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 02:05 PM PDT

P&G is recalling more cat food, due to possible salmonella contamination. This looks to be an expansion of the recall announced last week regarding a “small number of bags” in Loveland, CO. This recall is for the same product, but includes food sold in other parts of the country.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 31, 2010 – CINCINNATI, The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) is voluntarily recalling a small number of bags from a specific lot of one of its dry cat food products due to potential salmonella exposure.

No illnesses have been reported, and no other Iams pet food products are involved.

Only one code date is affected by this announcement:

Iams Indoor Product Name: Weight Control with Hairball Care dry cat food
Version: 6.8 lb bag
Code Date: 02304173 (B1-B6)
UPC Code: 1901403921

The company successfully traced and retrieved nearly all of the affected product and estimates that fewer than 60 bags from this production run may have been purchased by consumers.

This production run was sold through a single retailer in the following states: Illinois, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado.

Consumers who have purchased one of these few bags with the specific code date listed above should discard it. For a product replacement or refund, please call P&G toll-free at 800-862-3332 (Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST).
