PET food manufacturer Royal Canin South Africa has added its top-of-the-range Royal Canin brand of dog and cat food to an earlier recall of the cheaper Vets Choice brand.
The company released a statement on Monday morning after tests showed that a batch of raw material received from a third-party supplier may have been contaminated. The company said it was not yet sure what the contaminant was but that the public would be informed as soon as it had received more information.It said although not all its products had been contaminated, it had decided to recall all dry dog and cat food manufactured under the Vets Choice and Royal Canin brands in South Africa between March 8 and April 11.The Windhoek Veterinary Clinic and its Vet To Pet shop in Klein Windhoek say they have already removed all the recalled products from their shelves.Pet owners are requested to check the date of manufacture and country of origin on the packs of all Royal Canin products in their possession and return recalled products for replacement or a refund.If owners have thrown away the bag and are unsure when their food was manufactured, they should rather not feed the food to their pets.news24.comThe company said it was not yet sure what the contaminant was but that the public would be informed as soon as it had received more information.It said although not all its products had been contaminated, it had decided to recall all dry dog and cat food manufactured under the Vets Choice and Royal Canin brands in South Africa between March 8 and April 11.The Windhoek Veterinary Clinic and its Vet To Pet shop in Klein Windhoek say they have already removed all the recalled products from their shelves.Pet owners are requested to check the date of manufacture and country of origin on the packs of all Royal Canin products in their possession and return recalled products for replacement or a refund.If owners have thrown away the bag and are unsure when their food was manufactured, they should rather not feed the food to their pets.news24.com
