Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Menu Foods Midwest Corp is recalling approximately 53,373,600 cans and pouches of various brands of 'Cuts and Gravy' style wet cat food. These products, distributed across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, have been implicated in severe kidney illness and deaths in cats. Affected brands include major names such as Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Nutro, and Special Kitty, along with dozens of grocery store labels. Owners should immediately stop feeding these specific products to their pets and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The recalled wet cat food contains ingredients that have caused serious illness and kidney failure in pets. This issue has resulted in numerous reports of illness and death among cats that consumed the contaminated food.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop feeding the recalled wet cat food to your pets.
  2. Identify if your product is affected by checking the Brand name, UPC barcode, and Best By/Date codes on the back or bottom of the can or pouch.
  3. If you have brands like Iams or Eukanuba, look for codes 6312 through 7073 followed by plant code 4197.
  4. Check other store brands (like Walmart's Special Kitty, Safeway's Priority, or Kroger's Pet Pride) for specific UPC codes and date codes ranging from late 2008 to early 2010.
  5. Return any unused product to the retail store where it was purchased for a full refund or exchange.
  6. If your pet has consumed these products and shows signs of illness (such as loss of appetite, lethargy, or vomiting), contact your veterinarian immediately.
  7. For additional questions or to report a pet illness, contact the FDA's consumer complaint coordinator in your state or visit their website.
