The Iams company is not having a good year for its dog and cat foods. There are further recalls of dry food now. There is a risk that these foods could be contaminated with Salmonella. Not only can this make your dog or cat ill but it could make you sick as well. If hands are not properly washed after handling the food you or a family member could become sick. If you are concerned that you may have one of the following dry foods in your house check the Iams website at www.iams.com to verify UPC codes. If you have one of the potentially contaminated foods, stop using it and throw it away. The Iams website should have information about how to receive a refund for the food you discard. Also be sure to wash any bowls or containers thoroughly before using them again.
Foods affected (these are all dry formulas; wet foods and treats are not affected):
All dry Veterinary formulations for dog or cat
Eukanuba Naturally Wild
Eukanuba Pure
Eukanuba Custom Care Sensitive Skin

Iam cat food recall
Want to let everyone know about a new cat food recall. This one is by Iams Company. All varieties of 3.5 oz and 5 oz Iams Proactive Health Cat and Kitten foods with the product dates 9/2011 to 6/2012 have been recalled. The product date can be found on the bottom of the can.
Fortunately, this recall is due to something missing, rather than something toxic that has been added. This is different from the Menu Foods recall a couple of years ago that caused so much illness. In this case a vitamin called thiamine or B-1 is deficient in this food. If cats are being fed these canned foods exclusively they could show signs of thiamine deficiency. Symptoms include loss of appetite, excessive drooling, weakness, stumbling as if drunk, inability to hold up the head, tremors and seizures. If you see any of these symptoms you need to have your cat examined immediately. Thiamine deficiency can be treated.
If you have any of these canned foods in your cupboard please discard them. If you have more questions or would like to find out about reimbursement contact Proctor and Gamble (the parent company of Iams) at 1-877-340-8826.
