Nestle Purina recalls dry cat food for salmonella

June 27, 2011

Purina is recalling some of their dry cat food due to possible salmonella contamination.

Nestle Purina PetCare Company (NPPC) is voluntarily recalling approximately 870 bags of dry cat food shipped to Colorado, Idaho and Oregon.  This is being done as a precautionary measure, as the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.  Only the following products with both the “Best By” date and production codes shown are included in this voluntary recall:

Bag Size
“Best By” Date & Production Code*
Bag UPC Code

Cat Chow Naturals Dry Cat Food
6.3 lb.
AUG 2012  10331083 13
17800  11320

Friskies Grillers Blend Dry Cat Food
3.15 lb.
AUG 2012  10381083  06

Friskies Grillers Blend Dry Cat Food
16 lb.
AUG 2012  10381083  06

The bags of dry cat food in this recall were distributed in error in February, 2011 to a small number of customers in Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, which may have further distributed the product to other Western states.   There have been no consumer complaints and no reports of illness.

No additional Purina cat or dog products are involved.  Only products which match the “Best By” date and production codes above are involved.

You’ll find the press release here, but for the life of me, I can’t find anything about the recall on the Purina website. If you find it, please post a link below.
