Titolo: SEGNALAZIONE RICHIAMI
Inserito da: kaffa - 21 Giugno 2017, 13:26:33
Visto che sono iscritto a diversi enti, tra i quali AAFCO, PET FOOD INDUSTRIES, etc, che sovraintendono il mercato del Pet Food, ricevo costantemente segnalazioni di richiami (volontari) o di ritiri dal mercato di alcuni mangimi che non rispettano i regolamenti o le leggi, oppure che si scopre essere contaminati.

Ho pensato di fare cosa gradita, nell'aprire questa discussione ed inserire anche quà queste segnalazioni, anche se la maggior parte riguardano il mercato USA.

What’s Being Recalled?The affected product was shipped to select distributors and online retailers and include the following:No other Addiction Pet Food products are affected by this recall.

What Caused the RecallAddiction’s testing has identified elevated levels of Vitamin A and a slight variance in calcium / phosphorous ratios.

According to the company, Addiction Food’s top priority is the safety and quality of its products. For this reason, they are taking immediate action and implementing additional operating procedures to prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future.What It Means to YouIf dogs were fed exclusively these products for 60 days, the expected effect would be a reduction in appetite.
Exposure to excessive Vitamin A levels for an extended period of time may cause adverse health consequences in young, growing animals.
Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, the company is voluntarily recalling these products.What to Do?Consumers who purchased the affected items are asked to discontinue use of the product.
Unused cans may be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Evanger’s Dog and Cat Food Company, Inc. of Wheeling, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm539900.htm) specific lots of its Hunk of Beef product due to potential contamination with the deadly drug, pentobarbital.
Pentobarbital can affect animals that ingest it, and possibly cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance or nausea — or in extreme cases, death.


(http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/evangers-hunk-of-beef-recall-can.png)
What’s Being Recalled?
Although pentobarbital was detected in a single lot, the company is recalling all related Hunk of Beef products manufactured the week of June 6 through June 13, 2016.
The affected lots numbers that start with 1816E03HB, 1816E04HB, 1816E06HB, 1816E07HB, and 1816E13HB, and have an expiration date of June 2020.
The second half of the barcode reads 20109, which can be found on the back of the product label.Where Was the Product Sold?The affected products were sold both online and also distributed to retail locations only in the following states:About the RecallThe recall affects 5 lots of food that were produced from its supplier’s lot of beef, which is specifically used for the Hunk of Beef product and no other products.
To date, five dogs reportedly became ill. And one of the five dogs died after consuming the product with lot number 1816E06HB13.
Evanger’s is proactively issuing a recall so as not to risk potential exposure to pentobarbital in the product.
According to Evanger’s, all suppliers of meat products are USDA approved.
The insists the beef supplier provides the company with beef chunks from cows that are slaughtered in a USDA facility.
Evanger’s continues to investigate how the contaminant entered its raw material supply.
Because it sources its meat products from suppliers that are USDA approved and since no other products have reported any problems, the company is not extending the recall to other supplier lots.
According to Evanger’s, this is the first recall event for the company in its 82 years of manufacturing.What to Do?Although it has been verified that little or no product remains on store shelves, consumers are asked to return recalled product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at 847-537-0102 between 10 AM and 5 PM Central Time,

Wellpet of Tewksbury, MA, is voluntarily recalling (https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm547333.htm) a limited amount of one canned dog food because it may contain elevated levels of naturally occurring beef thyroid hormone.
(http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wellness-95-percent-canned-beef-dog-food-recall-470.jpg)

What’s Being Recalled?

Recalled product includes:Best-By dates can be found on the bottom of each can.
No other Wellness products are affected.
(http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wellness-dog-food-recall-cans-bottom-470.jpg)

About the RecallElevated levels of thyroid hormone may affect a dog’s metabolism and can be associated with increased thirst and urinary output, restless behavior and weight loss.
Multiple studies indicate that for the vast majority of pets, symptoms are reversible as soon as the pet stops eating product with elevated thyroid hormone.
Because the recipe is a mixer or topper and intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, the likelihood of a dog being affected is remote.
WellPet has received no reports of any health problems as a result of feeding the affected recipe.
However, the company is voluntarily recalling three best-by dates as an extra level of precaution.What to Do?If you have any of the 13.2 ounce cans of this specific recipe and marked with one of the three best-by dates, please email the company at wecare@wellpet.com

We sincerely regret the reports of the discomfort experienced by the pet who consumed this food.
As pet parents ourselves, we take this matter seriously.
On April 13, a retailer in Texas notified us that their customer had presented samples of our Cocolicious Beef and Turkey Lot #0136E15204 04 and Cocolicious Chicken and Beef Lot #0134E15 237 13 to a testing lab, and that the results had tested positive for pentobarbital.
We have requested those results.
When we were notified, we immediately tracked the lot numbers of the food in question and determined that the food had been manufactured and distributed in 2015.
We then contacted the two probable retailers that had sold the customer the food and asked them to isolate all remaining cans from these lots.
We also requested that the retailers send all of the cans from those lots to us so that we can forward them on to an accredited independent laboratory for independent testing.
We expect to receive the receive the results in 7 to 10 days.
We first saw the formal report from the lab at Texas A&M regarding the customer’s samples, today, April 17.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are retrieving the remainder of these two lots nationwide.
We are working with our distributors and retailers to determine if any additional beef-flavored products manufactured during this 2015 production period remain on shelves and, if so, to retrieve them from shelves, immediately, as well.</blockquote>What to Do?Consumers with questions may contact the company by phone at 855-727-8926 or by email at info@partyanimalpetfood.com.
