Pet Food Recall: Costco Dog Food,
American Nutrition Dog Food Added
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pet food recall reaches big box store Costco - American Nutrition, in
cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is conducting a
voluntary recall of products containing rice protein concentrate potentially
contaminated by melamine, the company has announced. That means that Costco
has announced the recall of one of its pet foods as it contained rice
protein that may be contaminated.
Pet Food Recall: Costco Dog Food, American Nutrition Dog Food Added
American Nutrition says the rice protein concentrate in Costco's "Kirkland
Signature Lamb and Rice canned dog food" may contain melamine, an industrial
chemical that was found in other recently recalled pet foods. The chemical
used to make plastics and fertilizers may be harmful to animals if eaten.
***
A release notes that the dog food is sold as part of the Kirkland Signature
Premium Dog Food 2-Flavor Variety Pack, item #38436, with a specific code on
the package that reads, "Best if used by Apr 15 09." Costco is asking
customers to stop using this food immediately and return it to any Costco
warehouse for a full refund.
More than 100 brands of pet food have been recalled since March 16 because
they were contaminated with melamine. An unknown number of dogs and cats
have been sickened or died after eating chemical-laced pet food.
