Manufacturer Menu Foods of Ontario, Canada, had set up a toll-free number and posted the foods involved on its Web site. But area readers have said they can’t get through on the number or access the Web site.
The recall of 60 million cans and foil pouches includes 51 brands of cat food and 40 brands of dog food, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was sold under both store and major brand labels at a number of large retailers, including Wal-Mart.
It involves “cuts and gravy” style food sold from Dec. 3 to March 6. An ingredient apparently can cause kidney failure in pets.
The company has two phone numbers to call for information, 1-866-463-6738 and 1-866-895-2708. A complete list of products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates, also is on the Web at www.menufoods.com.
