Here is the website with codes for the new recall.
I am sure everyone remembers the horrible round of petfood recalls. at Menu Foods last year, which resulted in numerous deaths of pet dogs and cats. Now Mars company has recalled some pet foods too apparently because of salmonella contamination.
When I heard the TV in the other room announce the recall my ears perked right up. Mars makes Pedigree and we have fed the small crunchy bites since Mike was a puppy. He had a lot of health problems when he was a young dog and it seemed to be the only thing he could eat. Now he eats pretty much anything, including nasty vegetables he steals out of the compost bin, but we had success with the food so we continued to feed it.
I went right to the Mars website to check out the codes on the 40-pound bag in the pantry. Sure enough the UPC was right there on the list.
Oh, good. We have five dogs. There is about five pounds of food left in the bag.
Now what? I kept perusing the site, hunting for more information. Finally I found it. Besides the particular UPC that was on our food there also was a small three letter code, which indicated the bad batch. Our bag doesn't have it. I was not terribly worried as it takes quite a while for the mutts to munch their way through 40 pounds. If they were going to get sick I figure it would have already happened......still.......
