WELLPET LLC VOLUNTARILY RECALLS CERTAIN LOTS OF CANNED CAT FOOD
No Other Lots, Products or Dates Affected
Tewksbury, MA (February 28, 2011) - WellPet LLC announced today it has
voluntarily recalled certain lots of
Wellness® canned cat food.
While recent laboratory testing found that most lots of Wellness canned cat
food that were tested contain
sufficient amounts of thiamine (also known as Vitamin B1), some of the lots
listed below might contain less
than adequate levels of thiamine. However, out of an abundance of caution,
WellPet has decided to recall all
of the lots listed below.
Cats fed only the affected lots for several weeks may be at risk for
developing a thiamine deficiency.
Thiamine is essential for cats. Symptoms of deficiency displayed by an
affected cat can be gastrointestinal
or neurological in nature. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include
decreased appetite, salivation,
vomiting, and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurologic signs can develop,
which may include ventriflexion
(bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, circling, falling,
and seizures. If your cat has
consumed the recalled lots and has these symptoms, please contact your
veterinarian. If treated promptly,
thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
The lots involved in this voluntary recall are:
Wellness Canned Cat (all flavors and sizes) with best by dates from 14APR 13
through 30SEP13;
Wellness Canned Cat Chicken & Herring (all sizes) with 10NOV13 or 17NOV13
best buy dates.
Consumers who still have cans of cat food from these lots should stop
feeding them to their cats and call
us at (877) 227-9587 Monday through Friday, 9:00 am – 7:00 pm Eastern Time.
Consumers with further
questions should visit our website at http://www.wellnesspetfood.com or call us at this same number.
WellPet discovered the lower thiamine levels during independent testing
conducted together with the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration in response to a single, isolated consumer
complaint received by the FDA.
Although WellPet has received no other reports concerning thiamine in its
products, WellPet has taken
additional steps with the manufacturer to ensure that this does not happen
again.
“As a pet parent myself, I’m concerned for the health and welfare of all
pets, and as a company we are
committed to delivering the most nutritious natural pet food,” said Tim
Callahan, chief executive officer of
WellPet, the maker of Wellness products. “Even though the chance of a cat
developing a thiamine deficiency
is extremely remote, we are voluntarily recalling all of these lots of our
canned cat food as an extra
precaution.”
