Update to Pet Food Recall

by Filed under Pet News

Trader Joe’s recalls pet food manufactured by Menu Foods:

  • According to the FDA, Trader Joe’s pet food products are NOT the same pet foods that are currently being recalled by Menu Foods. However, since safety is of the utmost importance to us, as an extra precaution we have voluntarily pulled all canned pet food items manufactured by Menu Foods from our shelves until we can test the products and be 100 percent sure they are safe for your pets. The products voluntarily pulled are: Dog Food Chunky Beef 22 oz., Dog Food Chunky Chicken 22 oz., Dog Food Lamb & Rice 22 oz., Cat Food Turkey & Giblets, Cat Food Premium Fish/Salmon/Rice and Cat Food Premium Chicken/Turkey/Rice.

    If for any reason you would like to return Trader Joe’s canned pet food products, please bring it back to any of our stores for a full refund or exchange.

  • We highly recommend to cook for your animals until the source for the contamination is found. Currently more and more brands are added to the recall list and the test labs are still not sure what caused the problem. The suspected wheat gluten might or might not be the reason that animals get sick. Some people reported that they fed dry kibbles and their pets got sick also.

    Use chicken (boneless), lean ground beef, beef, fish, mixed with sweet potatoes, some rice, and vegetables. Make sure that the beef/chicken/fish is thoroughly cooked and not raw inside. Avoid salt and spices and do not use baby food due to the sodium content. Pork is harder to digest, therefore use it in moderation only.

    If in doubt, please ask your vet for advise!
