Natural Balance pet foods recalled
CBC News
Last Updated: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 | 9:36 AM ET
Natural Balance Pet Foods is pulling two of its products from the marketplace after receiving complaints that pets were vomiting and suffering from kidney problems after eating it.
The recall applies to Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating the matter.
Officials with the agency noted there is no indication this case is related to an extensive recall issued last month when pet food products were found to be contaminated with melamine — a chemical used in plastics, countertops, glue and fertilizers.
The company said while the problems seem to be confined to one particular lot, they were pulling all date codes as a precautionary measure.
In March, Menu Foods, based in Streetsville, Ont., recalled 60 million containers of its "cuts and gravy" style wet pet food, sold across North America under nearly 100 store and major brand labels. Since then, five other pet food companies have recalled products believed to be contaminated with melamine.
The FDA has confirmed 16 animals in the U.S. have died after eating the tainted pet food.

I tried to see if these foods contained wheat gluten - but the website wasn't allowing access to that area.

That's odd, I've never had any problem accessing that information on their website. Here is a link to the Venison formula dog food ingredients for you:

Natural Balance pet food tainted with melamine, FDA says
Last Updated: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 | 11:23 AM ET
CBC News
Tests have shown that Natural Balance pet food pulled from the market Tuesday was contaminated with melamine, a chemical used to make plastics and fertilizers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
The recall applies to the venison and brown rice canned and bagged dog food, venison and brown rice dog treats and venison and green pea dry cat food made by the California-based company.
"We believe the source of the melamine is a rice protein concentrate," the FDA said in a release Tuesday. "Natural Balance has confirmed this morning that some production batches of these products may contain melamine."
Also Tuesday, Menu Foods expanded its recall to include a wider date range for selected products. The Ontario-based company also withdrew Natural Life vegetarian dog food sold in 13.2-ounce cans after tests showed the product to contain contaminated wheat gluten.
In March, Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of its cuts and gravy style wet pet food, sold across North America under nearly 100 store and major brand labels. Since then, five other pet food companies have recalled products believed to be contaminated with wheat gluten containing melamine.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister Chuck Strahl has asked the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to conduct a review to determine if pet food should be regulated.
"What we are doing is reviewing the situation," Strahl said. "We're trying to determine what, if anything, we can do to try to prevent these things from happening again, and also what type of regulations might be effective on this kind of a product."
Under the current system, the Canadian Veterinary Medicine Association provides nutritional guidelines but has no regulatory powers. The NDP recently called on the federal government to tighten pet food production regulations.
The FDA traced the problem to melamine after pet owners grew concerned about apparent kidney failure in their cats and dogs. There have been 16 confirmed cases of animals dying in the U.S. after eating Menu Foods products.

I'd like to thank all of you that post the new information. I see the news here first. I did turn on TV to see what they had to say about the latest food recall today. Lots of foods have rice, I hope this isn't the start of all foods with rice now. Kelcee eats IVD Duck and Green Pea and we just switched the pups to Canadae from Precise.
