FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 29, 2011 - Nestlé Purina PetCare Company (NPPC) is voluntarily recalling a limited number of 3.5- and 7-pound bags of its Purina ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Dry Cat Food from a single production run and shipped to customers in 12 states in December 2010.  This is being done because some bags of the product have been found to be contaminated with Salmonella.  Only Purina ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Dry Cat Food with both the “Best By” date and the production code shown are included in this voluntary recall :

Thanks for posting this, Mark. A bit unnerving that the product was sold in December, and the salmonella contamination was only announced now, months after many cats had eaten it and probably got sick.

I was in the grocery store yesterday, shopping for hurricane stuff (lol) and someone saw me buying a Purina One bag of food.  She told me about the recall.  TOO BAD IT WAS IN DECEMBER!    Geeze, I've gone through about 5 bags of that already!  Thank goodness my guys were small and still eating Kitten Chow in December or I wudda been in trouble. 

Thanks for the heads up.  I should visit this site more often.  Sorry!

Do note that the recall was not for regular Purina One for adult cats, but rather for Purina One Vibrant Maturity for older cats.  By now none of that recalled food would still be on store shelves anyway.
