WELLPET LLC VOLUNTARILY RECALLS
CERTAIN LOTS OF CANNED CAT FOOD
No Other Lots, Products or Dates Affected
Dear WellPet Customer,
Recent testing on lots of our Wellness® canned cat food products has indicated that specific lots of these products might contain less than adequate levels of thiamine (also known as Vitamin B1). While this is an isolated incidence, we have taken additional steps in our manufacturing process to ensure that this does not happen again.
Cats fed only these products over time could be at risk for developing thiamine deficiency. Although the risk for thiamine deficiency is remote, we are taking the extra precaution of voluntarily removing these products from store shelves. We are asking for the return of the following products:
· Wellness Canned Cat Food (all flavors and sizes) with “BEST BY” dates from 14APR13 through 30SEP13
· Wellness Canned Cat Food Chicken & Herring (all sizes) with a “BEST BY” date of 10NOV13 and 17NOV13.
We are asking consumers to contact Stericycle ExpertRECALL directly if they believe they have the recalled product. Consumers will receive reimbursement by calling the recall hotline at
(877) 227-9587.
At WellPet, our mission is to deliver the most nutritious, natural pet food and snacks. We greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter and your continued support of the Wellness brand.
If you receive any consumer inquiries regarding the voluntary recall before you receive your mailing, please contact Stericycle ExpertRECALL at (877) 227-9587.
