Royal Canin changes Vitamin D3 Pet Food premix supplier
Royal Canin Canada Statement Regarding Product Safety
http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/a.../21/c5073.html GUELPH, ON, March 21 /CNW Telbec/ - Royal Canin Canada wishes to assure customers that no Royal Canin Canada products are linked to any current safety issues regarding Menu Foods. In early 2006, Royal Canin Canada did voluntarily withdraw seven specific code lots of Canned Waltham Royal Canin Canada Veterinary dog and cat food. They were withdrawn as a precaution because the products contained elevated levels of Vitamin D3 which could cause loss of appetite, lethargy and excessive drinking and urination in pets. The elevated levels occurred due to a vitamin-mineral premix error from a supplier, resulting in excess levels of Vitamin D3 in these code lots. The recalled lots affected products prescribed exclusively through veterinary clinics. All veterinary clinics were notified and the products were removed from those clinics. Royal Canin Canada wishes to assure customers that all affected products have been removed and destroyed. No over-the-counter pet food was affected. Since last year, Royal Canin Canada has changed its premix supplier, put in place systematic Vitamin D3 analysis and enhanced quality checks in finished products. The steps taken are driven by Royal Canin Canada's Pet First philosophy and its commitment to pets and pet owners. "For close to 40 years, the health, happiness and long lives of our customers' pets have been our number one priority," said Xavier Unkovic, CEO Royal Canin Canada. "We have one of the most stringent quality control processes in the industry." __________________________________________________ _______________________ $50M lawsuit filed against pet food company Pet Food Kidney Failure Lawsuit blames Excessive Vitamin D http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/200...d-lawsuit.html Kidney Stones - 12 Lines of Defense http://www.mothernature.com/Library/...ooks/47/88.cfm |

Pityfull.. ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
