Dogster posted a recall announcement for Claudia's Canine and Natures Deli products, all the information is below. Please be sure to check your products if these are brands you use for your dogs.
Claudia’s Canine Cuisine has issued a recall on two products due to "to the potential to contain mold," according to a tweet by Petsmart. The products are Dog Candy Fruit Hound Cake (7.5 ounce) and Dog Candy Blueberry Hound Cake (7.5 ounce).
These are products are sold at Petsmart. If you have any questions
about this voluntary withdrawal, please call Claudia’s customer service
line at (501) 851-0002 or email Irma@claudiascaninecuisine.com.
Claudia's Canine Cuisine does not actively maintain a website, so
Petsmart's Twitter account was the companies' chosen route of
communication. It is unusual; we've never heard of a Twitter-only
announcement of a recall, and we're not huge fans of it. Claudia's
Canine Cuisine does have a static web site, which presumably could be updated with the info.
In another matter related to dog food, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration is warning people not to feed their dogs Nature’s Deli
Chicken Jerky Dog Treats with a lot code of BESTBY061913DEN, because
they might be contaminated with Salmonella. The treats are made by Kasel
Associates Industries Inc. and were sold at Costco stores in the Denver
area. The treats come in three-pound bags.
Kasel is not doing a voluntary recall on this particular lot -- rather, the FDA is warning people
not to eat any bags from it. Kasel did do a voluntary recall on another
lot of Nature’s Deli Chicken Jerky Dog Treats in October, but it
refused to voluntarily recall this latest lot for reasons that are
unspecific.
Kasel's actions are unusual, because last month the FDA tested a
retail sample from this lot, which tested positive for Salmonella.
Whether Kasel is disputing these findings or simply ignoring them
remains to be seen.
