    Nutro Press Release - their dry food is safe

    I checked out Nutro's website because I feed all my guys Nutro dry and am concerned. I was very relieved to find this on their site. I know they are now adding some dry food and treats to the recall list but since Nutro doesn't use wheat gluten, imported grains or Menu Foods to make their dry I feel safer.

    Nutro Dry Pet Foods Do Not Contain
    The Ingredient Wheat Gluten

    The FDA and Menu Foods Tie Wheat Gluten to the Menu Foods Recall

    City of Industry, Calif. (March 30, 2007)– As the Food and Drug Administration today reiterated that it has no intention at this time of expanding the Menu Foods recall to include dry food, Nutro Products wants consumers to know:
    Nutro's dry pet foods do NOT contain wheat gluten.
    Nutro's dry pet foods do NOT contain imported grains.
    Nutro's dry pet foods are NOT produced by Menu Foods.
    NONE of Nutro's dry pet foods are subject to the Menu Foods recall.
    Pet owners should feel safe and confident feeding Nutro dry pet foods to their pets.


    “Even prior to this extremely disturbing incident at Menu Foods, our dry dog and cat foods were not produced using wheat gluten,” said Dave Kravis President and CEO of Nutro Products. “We know that there is confusion among consumers about what foods are safe to feed their pets right now. We can categorically say that Nutro's dry pet foods do not contain the ingredient wheat gluten or any imported grains, they are unaffected by the Menu Foods recall, and it is absolutely safe to continue feeding these products to your pets.”

    According to Kim Noetzel, vice president of marketing and community relations for the Arizona Humane Society: "We are reassuring pet owners that based on the information we have, dry food products, including those from Nutro, are safe to continue feeding. We are in contact with Nutro and have complete confidence in their products and in the information and resources they have been providing us. We will absolutely continue working with them throughout this situation."

    Nutro's products are 100% guaranteed and all returned product will be refunded.

    Nutro customers may check Nutro's website (www.nutroproducts.com) or contact Nutro's Consumer Hotline (800) 833-5330 for further information about its products. Nutro's website will be updated as more information becomes available. Additionally, general information about Menu Foods' recall is available at www.menufoods.com/recall/

    My vet told me in Feb. to start feeding Ripley some wet food to help him get enough fluids. I went to Petsmart to buy the pouch Nutro for Seniors and they were sold out because it was on sale so I bought something else. Thank goodness that was sold out because it was on the list. Poor Ripley is already in kidney failure so this tainted food would have probably killed him quickly.
