This is why I am a distributor of Flint River Ranch All Natural Pet Food. They are made right here in the USA and all ingredients are safe and natural. If you are interested in checking them out, please go to http://www.frrco.com/.
Part of your responsibility as a pet parent is to help protect your pet from potentially harmful products. While it is nearly impossible to ensure that your pet will never come in contact with recalled pet food or treats, you can reduce your pet's risk.
I used to work for medical device companies as a Quality Administrator so I frequently went into the FDA database to get alerts on products that were recalled. You can do the same thing for pet food and treats.
The FDA keeps an extensive list of all pet food recalls. You can also sign up to get these alerts emailed directly to you. If you would like to keep current on these recalls and sign up for these alerts, please go to: http://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/safetyhealth/recallswithdrawals/default.html
Below are tips to protect your pets from contaminated food and treats and below that is a current list of products recalled in 2013... so far.
Tips for protecting your pets from contaminated food and treats
1. Check the list of recalled pet foods and treats regularly for information about items that have been recalled.
2. If your pet's food or treats are recalled, immediately stop feeding the product to your pet. Recalled products may be returned to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or thrown away in a secure area not accessible to animals. If you have questions about recalled food or treats or require additional information contact the company that manufactures the product.
3. If your pet may have consumed a recalled product, consult your veterinarian, even if your pet does not appear to have any symptoms.
4. If your pet has become ill or died because of a recalled food or treat, please report it to The FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your state.
