NEW RECALL: Evolve Dry Kitten Food Recalled
May 18th, 2007

Evolve is recalling their dry kitten food formula with the Best Used By date of September 13, 2008.

Although no date is listed on the Evolve pet food recall page, we believe this has been posted recently according to one of our tipsters. FDA does not list Evolve food at all, just their Triumph canned food brand (which was a part of a previous recall).

It’s been added to our recall list. Unfortunately, it’s been more than 2 months since the food was made.

Evolve’s announcement says:

Evolve Kitten Food made on March 12, 2007 has now been included in group.

As of today, 99.4% of the 27,560 lbs. of product made on March 12, 2007 (Best Used By Sep 13 08) has been accounted for and removed from sale. Currently there is 168 lbs. that has not been accounted for. The above 168 lbs. is a total of 9 units in 3# and 7# sizes.




NEW RECALL: Lick Your Chops Recalls Dry Cat Food
May 17th, 2007

Lick Your Chops is recalling their Kitten and Cat dry food in the 4 lb. and 18 lb. bags with a Best By date of 4/29/08, due to the possibility this product may have been cross-contaminated.

The food doesn’t contain any wheat gluten, corn gluten or rice protein concentrate, but “it was produced around the same time there may have been other products manufactured that contained rice gluten, even though tests on these products did not indicate any presence of contamination”.

1. Thanks for the post

We have one (tolerant) dog and six cats, so far none of the recalled products have been among the brands we use.

2. You're welcome.

I'm worried that it's now dry foods being recalled. Makes one wonder if anything is safe.
