This is a Class 1 Recall for Clostridium botulinum. The initial recall was limited to several canned hot dog chili sauces but has now been expanded to include additional human food products produced on a specific production line that also produced at least four types of one brand of canned pet food (Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods in Pacoima, CA). At the present time no pet food products have been found positive for Clostridium botulinum, but the recall has been issued out of an abundance of caution. Multiple retailers in Pennsylvania who may have received these pet food products have been contacted regarding the recall. For more information on the recall please go to http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01670.html.” Paul Knepley, DVM, Director NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY: This e-mail, including any attachments, is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential information that is legally privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
