Lovely! They'll post a list of brands and lot numbers on their website
Saturday. In the meantime, we don't know whether what we're feeding our
pets is safe or not. My cats eat prefer the kind they talk about - chunks
of meat in gravy. :-(

I see it also covers Iams and Eukanuba brands.

My disposer ate so much of FF wet food, I've quit giving any to TuTu.
TuTu would previously touch nothing with gravy or chunks. She even
started turning her little red nose up at Tuna & chicken which used to be
a favorite.

It's serious enough that they put gluten in catfood at all. If cats
had been evolutionarily designed to be wheat eaters they'd have
invented the combine harvester.

Two of our five adult cats are gluten-intolerant in a similar way to
humans with coeliac disease. Splodge has it so badly that even a
mouthful of catfood in gravy will have him crapping in the bath with
appalling diarrhoea (so smelly it hits you walking in the front door).
I'd bet this is a *very* under-reported condition.

That's the very stuff I *don't* buy because the only one of my cats
that needs wet food (Spooky - very old and missing many teeth) won't
eat it. He likes plain old gooshy style foods, most any flavor.

Just so it isn't a recall of Walmart's dry food: I have 80 pounds of
that stuff on hand.

I THINK we're safe - although I have fed mine supermarket
store brands in the past, I haven't since I moved to
Arizona. They won't EAT Iams or Eukanuba, so mostly they
get Friskies or Whiskas moist food, plus Purina Indoor Cat
kibble.

Probably suffering an overload from inquiries by concerned
catslaves!

If they're just store brands, we're safe, too. However, I got the
impression that they were several different brands, sold at the stores
mentioned. I buy some of my cat food at Vons, which is owned by Safeway.
Lately, it's been mostly Friskies.
