Pet food manufacutrer recalls product causing kidney failure in pets

A major manufacturer of dog and cat food is recalling 60 million containers of wet food.


Menu Foods says it's received report of dogs and cats suffering kidney failure after eating the food. About ten animals died. Menu Foods supplies store brands to Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger, PetSmart and other retailers. The recall covers its "cuts and gravy" style food sold between early December and March. The food comes in cans and small foil pouches. It consists of chunks of meat in gravy.

The company says it's not sure what happened, and product testing hasn't revealed a link that would explain the illnesses and deaths.


Menu Foods didn't immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot numbers covered by the recall, but says the information will be on the company's Web site tomorrow morning.
