Just an FYI, as some folks here feed their pets food bought from the stores listed in the recall.

Wouldn't you know! I start feeding my OLD cat Wal-Mart canned food in an attempt to put some weight on him and this hits me.
ARGH!

At his age, I doubt it will really hurt him (he was an alley cat before a raccoon got the better of one of his paws-long story), but I'm feeding it to the raccoons and chipmunks for now.

Be careful with the food they aren't supposed to eat too: Xylitol sweetened products, mostly foods aimed at diabetics:

from Iams.com
All other canned and small foil wet pouch products produced at other plants are not affected by this issue. Iams and Eukanuba ?dry? products are not manufactured at Menu Foods and not affected by this issue. Iams and Eukanuba biscuits, treats and sauces are not affected by this issue.

Occasionally my cats get a bag of Iams they don't like. They either don't eat it, or barf it up after they do. I've returned 4-5 bags and make sure I get a bag from a different lot. I complained to IAMs and got a form letter back thanking me for my feedback. Maybe I should mail them the puke next time :ack:
The latest recall says no dried food. My roommate seems to think it's the starches they used in the foods. Either not food grade or contaminated in the silos.

for those that dont know, initial signs of kidney failure would be lack of energy, drinking lots of water with less urination and a decreased appetite!
