Del Monte Pet Products Voluntarily Withdraws Specific Product Codes of
Pet Treats and Wet Dog Food Products
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As a precautionary measure, Del Monte
Pet Products is voluntarily recalling select product codes of its pet
treat products sold under the Jerky TreatsR, Gravy TrainR Beef Sticks
and Pounce Meaty MorselsR brands as well as select dog snack and wet
dog food products sold under private label brands. A complete list of
affected brands and products is below.
The Company took this voluntary recall action immediately after
learning this morning from the FDA that wheat gluten supplied to Del
Monte Pet Products from a specific manufacturing facility in China
contained melamine. Melamine is a substance not approved for use in
food. The FDA made this finding as part of its ongoing investigation
into the recent pet food recall.
The adulteration occurred in a limited production quantity on select
product codes of the brands below. This recall removes all Del Monte
pet products with wheat gluten procured from this manufacturing
facility from retail shelves.
No other Del Monte Pet Products treats, biscuits or wet dog food
products are impacted by this recall, and no Del Monte dry cat food,
dry dog food, wet cat food or pouched pet foods are subject to this
voluntary recall. The affected products comprise less than one-tenth of
one percent of Del Monte Pet Products' annual pet food and pet treat
production.
Del Monte Pet Products has proactively engaged and fully cooperated
with the FDA since the start of its investigation. The adulterated
ingredients were used in limited production over the last three months
for those items identified by specific product codes. Del Monte Pet
Products has not used wheat gluten from this manufacturing facility in
China in any other pet products except those described below.
Consumers should discontinue feeding the products with the Product
Codes detailed below to their pets.
Del Monte Pet Products are 100% guaranteed and all returned product
will be refunded.
Del Monte Pet Products customers can visit our website
(www.delmonte.com) or contact our Consumer Hotline at (800) 949-3799
for further information about the recall and for instructions on
obtaining a product refund.

Eight In One Announces Nationwide Recall of All Lots of Dingo(R)
CHICK'N JERKY Treats for Dogs, Cats and Ferrets
Saturday March 31, 11:30 am ET
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eight In One, Inc., a division of United
Pet Group, Inc., is voluntarily recalling nationally all lots of DingoR
CHICK'N JERKY treats due to Company concerns that the jerky treats have
the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause
serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if there is cross
contamination, in people, especially children, the aged, and people
with compromised immune systems. The Food and Drug Administration is
aware of this recall.
ADVERTISEMENT
The products affected were sold at Target, PetSmart and other
retailers. The products subject to this voluntary recall are Dingo
CHICK'N JERKY 3.5 oz. and 8 oz. for dogs and Dingo Kitty CHICKEN JERKY
1.5 oz. for cats and Dingo Ferret CHICKEN JERKY 1.5 oz for ferrets.
Laboratory testing has shown that some samples of these chicken jerky
treats were contaminated with Salmonella. The company is recalling all
these products out of an abundance of caution.
Salmonella can potentially be transferred to people handling these pet
treats, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after
having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these
products. Healthy people infected with Salmonella can have some or all
of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping
and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments,
including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain,
eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these
signs after having contact with this product should contact their
healthcare providers..
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or
bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only
decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Apparently well animals
can be a carrier and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has
consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact
your veterinarian.
The company has received one report of Salmonellosis in a dog. There
are no reports of human illness.
These products are being removed from retail stores. Consumers should
immediately stop feeding these treats to their pets.
Consumers who purchased any of the above-identified CHICK'N JERKY
TREATS should discontinue use of the products and should discard the
unused portion. Consumer can obtain information on receiving refunds by
contacting the Eight In One consumer affairs department at
1-888-232-9889.
Retailer and other inquiries into this recall should also be directed
to the Eight In One consumer affairs department at 1-800-645-5154 x 3.
