Lortscher Agri Service Inc has recalled approximately 1 metric ton of pet food pre-blend made with rice protein concentrate.

This pre-blend was distributed to a single pet food manufacturer in Kansas and is intended for use in the production of various finished pet food products. Consumers who have purchased pet foods potentially containing this pre-blend should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The product is contaminated with melamine, a chemical that can cause serious kidney damage or renal failure in pets if ingested. Melamine contamination in pet food has been linked to severe illness and death in cats and dogs.
