Normally we can listen to Steve Dale on WGN.COM on Sunday nights.
Tuesday he's doing two shows c/o the Cat Writers Association and getting the
word out on the food recall. And you can hear those two shows online.
the first is with Greg Allen, who is a conservative show host (with sanity)
in Florida. He broadcasts on the web at www.therightbalance.org. Steve is
on 11:30 till 11:50 east coast time on Tuesday.
At 3:30 east coast time/12:30 west coast time, Steve is joining Shauna Ride

Above is the link to the Website that lists foods NOT involved in the recall. They list the product lines, where they’re manufactured and whether or not
they ever used MenuFoods.
They update the site regularly and aren’t endorsing any food, just providing the information.
It’s amazing how many companies use/used Menu. With so many companies using this manufacturer, where was the quality control. An awful lot of ball dropping!!

Hi Pat... thank you SO MUCH for this list.... I am keeping the link... some of the foods I use are Menu, like Wellness, but I feel confident I am okay.
Sincerely,
~Iva~

Subject: [Catdiab] Please report any sick/dead pets to the FDA in regards to this recall
The news on CBS last night (our local one) had a big story about how
the FDA is trying to follow up on how many pets have been seriously
ill or killed from this food and to establish a timeline.
They were frustrated in the fact that nobody knows they're supposed
to call the FDA on this, so they're asking for anyone who had a pet
that was affected - or is affected-- to report it to their vet and to
have the vet contact the FDA AND it's extremely important for the
owner themselves to call the FDA so they can start putting together
something more solid than what they've been getting.
It's extremely important to call on this. The scope of the problem
is far beyond 16 reported deaths.
The online list of FDA phone numbers broken down by state is over
here:
http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html
Call your vet and ask them to call also, they'll be able to supply
the info from their files to help back up the data.
They have an FAQ page on their site as well. Apparently they were
officially notified by Menu Foods on March 15, but problems had been
showing up since November now that more information was coming in
(according to a story on CBS last night, they had some interviews
with pet owners, especially one with a Brittany Spaniel that had
died):

The recent pet food recalls are very concerning to us all. Please visit www.lovemyhealthypet.com and watch the short video that is listed on the page. Even if your not interested in this particular food the video will help you look for ingredients to avoid in your pet food.
