UPDATE:
July 23rd, 2007: There has been no new information from
Castleberry Foods regarding the voluntary recall.
Natural
Balance was informed on July 21st, 2007 at 2:45 PM Pacific
time by our USDA manufacturer, Castleberry Foods, in
Augusta, GA, that they are doing a voluntary recall
on all 15 oz. edible foods for humans as well as our
Natural Balance Eatables for Dogs (Irish Stew, Hobo
Chili, Chinese Take-Out and Southern Style Dumplin's
with Gravy).
This
voluntary recall is from one reported case of botulism
in Castleberry's human edible Hot Dog Chili
Sauce. Botulism is generally due to an
improperly sealed can or a can that has become damaged,
thus letting air inside. Natural Balance checks
all of its cans for any kind of leakage, puffiness or
damage before they are shipped, and we have found none.
However,
to comply with our manufacturer, we are asking that
you discontinue use and return Eatables for Dogs to
your store for a full refund. We will give you more
information as we get it. |
