I added the recall information to the main website at:
http://wvcats.com/catnews/kroger-pet-food-recall-due-to-aflatoxin/The food is being recalled due to Aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin poisoning is very serious and can result liver disease and death. There is no antidote for aflatoxicosis, but there is care and treatment. (Aflatoxin is a naturally-occurring toxic chemical by-product from the growth of the fungus Aspergillus flavus on corn and other crops.)
Since it almost happens that recalls get expanded to include other package sizes or "use by" dates, I recommend anyone using the Kroger Pet Pride Cat Food, Pet Pride Tasty Blend Poultry & Seafood Cat Food, Pet Pride Kitten Formula Food, Old Yeller Chunk Dog Food, Kroger Value Cat Food, Kroger Value Chunk Dog Food stop using it
immediately, no matter what size, lot number or "use by" date.
Symptoms of aflatoxicosis include:
Lethargy/Sluggishness
Yellowish Eyes
Yellowish Gums
Lack of Interest in Food
Bloody Diarrhea
Severe Diarrhea
If your pet shows any of those symptoms, get the pet to the vet!
Anyone who has been using the Kroger brands pet foods really should not anyway, since they are full of corn and other fillers. Those store brands are not good nutrition for cats or dogs.
