October 31, 2009 - According to a company alert, pieces of melted plastic were recently found in the production line of select varieties of NUTRO dry dog and cat food products. The company said they retrieved the affected pet food from distributors, and only three skids reached retail stores. These were delivered to a number of Pet Smart and Petco stores. The specific products are listed below.
Upon discovery of the melted plastic, Nutro said they halted manufacturing and performed a search of equipment. They identified the source as a worker’s “bump cap,” similar to a hard hat, which made its way into the manufacturing process.
Based on reviews, Nutro authorities said it is unlikely that any pieces of plastic made it into finished product. However, upon learning of the incident, they voluntarily retrieved affected products.
Consumers who believe they have purchased affected product should return it to their retailer for a full refund or exchange for another NUTRO® product, or contact the Nutro Products Consumer Care team at 1-800-833-5330.
