I am very saddened to report that my favorite pet food company, Nature’s Variety, has initiated a voluntary recall.
This recall only involves their raw medallions, patties, and chubs, and is due to possible contamination of salmonella.
The only products affected are limited to Chicken flavored food with a “Best If Used By” date of 11/10/10. This includes:
* 3 lb chicken medallions (UPC# 7 69949 60130 2) with a “Best If Used By” date of 11/10/10
* 6 lb chicken patties (UPC# 7 69949 60120 3) with a “Best If Used By” date of 11/10/10
* 2 lb chicken chubs (UPC# 7 69949 60121 0) with a “Best If Used By” date of 11/10/10
My cat Charlie just finished a bag of Nature’s Variety Raw Chicken Medallions two days ago. I do not know if the “Best If Used By” date matched, but Charlie showed no negative symptoms while eating the food. He is currently eating the Rabbit and Venison flavors and will continue to eat them for the time being. I believe in this company.
Read the official press release here.
We just learned of the recall today! We ran to check the “best by” date, and luckily, our two bags are not affected. I am glad that Nature’s Variety is being proactive about it.
