Holy smoly more pet food recalled

The list keeps on growing.
Royal Canin Canada adds diet, some vet products to list
GUELPH, Ont. (CP) — Pet food company Royal Canin Canada has added Sensible Choice Diet and some veterinary-prescribed products to the growing list of recalled pet foods after its U.S. division discovered melamine in the rice gluten of additional products.
The Canadian division of the French company said Friday that it would recall five veterinary diet products, as well as cut its ties with Chinese suppliers of its vegetable proteins.
The Royal Canin products listed in Friday’s recall are in the Veterinary Diet line under the names: Canine Early Cardiac, Canine Sensitivity RC, Canine Skin Support, Feline Hypoallergenic HP, Feline Sensitivity RD. Earlier this month, Royal Canin recalled its Medi-Cal Feline Dissolution Formula after discovering that it could have also been contaminated.
“We feel that this recall is necessary as we absolutely cannot put pets at risk,” said Royal Canin Canada CEO Xavier Unkovic.
Melamine is a chemical used to make plastics and pesticides.
Last month, Mississauga, Ont.-based Menu Foods Income Fund recalled 60 million cans and pouches of its “cuts and gravy” style food, sold under 95 different brand names, for fear of contamination after it received reports of kidney failure and even death among dogs and cats.
