According to Menu Foods, the manufacturer of pet food that began recalling that food over contamination issues, their recall is now expanding. The original recall included wet cat and dog food produced with adulterated wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. Menu Foods is now expanding the recall to include cuts and gravy and select other products which do not include ChemNutra wheat gluten but which were manufactured at any of Menu Foods’ plants during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used at that plant. The new concern is over the possibility of cross-contamination. Menu Foods has received a report from a customer and has received study results, both of which indicate cross-contamination. As a result, Menu advises the public:- Additional items in the United States and Canada have been added to the recall list as well.
The recall dates of those products previously recalled have been modified to include all dates during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used in the applicable Menu plant. All of these products, including the expanded dates, have previously been withdrawn from the market and should already be off the retailer shelves. Menu estimates that this additional recall represents less than 5% of the products that have already been recalled or withdrawn. An updated list of the recalled products, including this addition, is available at the Menu Foods website at http://www.menufoods.com.
