Any recalls on this? it says no on the list…i know wheat gluten is the culprit, which is in some of the cans i have. Is it my best bet to just return them & exchange for non wheat gluten ones?
ok, i’m not asking for your opinions on what i should feed my cat. he does not exclusively eat friskies. i wish people could just answer the question i ask & not lecture me.
My two otherwise healthy 4 year old kitties were recently sick. Both had elevated levels of BUN and Creatinine. Hayley required hospitalization for IV fluids and Tino needed two doses of sub-q fluids. Both are doing better now. I can’t be sure but I think the illness was related to the food recall. They both had eaten Nutro Max Classics Canned food – Lamb and Turkey Cutlets manufactured on Jan 22 07. This particular food was not recalled but it does contain wheat gluten and was produced during same time period as the recalled food. I contacted Menu Foods, the FDA, and Nutro and nobody has gotten back to me. I just wanted to alert people about the possible bad food. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this food?
I’m currently feeding my 2 cats friskies wet and dry food and whiskas dry food. I was told that these are bad for a cat because of all the "fillers", what are the best brands of wet and dry cat food that you can buy in a regular grocery store or a place like petsmart? My mom feeds her cats 9lives in the can, is that any better? I have noticed that most of my cans of friskies has wheat gluten in it which is what started the recall so i stopped feeding them cans that contain wheat gluten but need a good brand of wet and dry food. Thanks!!!
the recalled food had adulterated wheat gluten Menu in it , does anyone know what I can give my dog to feel better.
thanks everyone for the info ….I took her to the vet and she is doing much better now.
I found out from someone that you do not want to feed your cat purina cat chow if it has wheat gluten in it. I was just wondering if it would be ok to give your cat ourina cat chow if it doesnt have wheat gluten.
My cat eats only Friskies "sliced with gravy" cat food. He threw it up, twice, the day before the recent recall. Right after he upchucked, I took his food away and put him on a liquid diet, feeding him only the water drained from a can of tuna. The next day news about the recall hit. I keep going back to the Internet to see if Friskies cuts and gravys are on the list and they haven’t shown up. He has not throw up since, but I have not resumed feeding him his Friskies because I am not convinced it hasn’t been affected. I have read the product is not made by Menu Brands who bought the poisoned wheat gluten from China. But that does not mean Friskies didn’t use the same source for their gluten. I’ve gone to the Friskies web site and can’t find anything about this.
Just wanted to pass along the latest info on the pet food recall. the pet food Natural Balance for dogs and cats has been recalled . I saw in the news that the chemical melamine, which has contaminated the wheat gluten in a lot of products, has been found in the rice protein concentrate ingrediant in the venesen and rice flavors in that brand. Everybody that has pets, please be careful. This recall just gets crazier and crazier.
So if you look at the ingredients for the regular wet food the mushy ones with the rice and stuff they also contain wheat gluten so if wheat gluten is what they think is the problem then how do they know these dog foods arent going to cause problems too and their other idea is that it was in the corn well there is corn in dry food. im so scared that this is going to become a problem with much more than just the cuts and gravy. and they arent telling us enough.
Importantly, no Purina brand dry pet foods are affected by the recall – including ALPO Prime Cuts dry. In addition, no other Purina dog food products, no Purina cat food products, Purina treat products or Purina Veterinary Diet products are included in this recall, nor have been impacted by the contaminated wheat gluten supply.
At Purina, nothing is more important to us than the health and well-being of the pets whose nutrition has been entrusted to us by their owners, and we deeply regret this unfortunate situation. We will continue to take any and all actions necessary to ensure the quality and safety of our products.

If you search the internet you will find many many cases of cats getting sick or even dying from eating these foods, especially Special Kitty. All we ever fed our cat was Friskies and they seemed fine until about 2 weeks before the recall, they kept throwing it back up. I stopped feeding it to them and switched to Natural Balance but then the kind I was feeding them was recalled. I have been monitering them closely and they don’t seem affected. It was just a small bag of Green Pea and Venison split between 3 cats. I’m still feeding them Natural balance but not the recalled kind. I am thinking of switching to something else but I don’t want to feed them anything with Wheat gluten, rice, or anything made by Menu foods. The only thing I have found that isn’t is Natural balance and Halo and my cat refuse to eat Halo. I just wish that they would pull the Special Kitty and Friskies since it is making cats die. Is anyone still feeding their cat canned Friskies or Special Kitty?
