P&G Pet Care Issues Voluntary Recall of limited Eukanuba Dry Pet Foods

Sydney Australia August 6, 2010 - The Procter & Gamble Pet Care Company is voluntarily recalling its Eukanuba Veterinary Diets dry formulas and a limited number of Eukanuba specialised formulas as a precautionary measure.

These voluntarily recalled products are made in a single, specialised facility in the United States and P&G Pet Care recently determined that some products made at this facility may not meet its high quality standards. Whilst P&G Pet Care sets a benchmark for Quality Assurance that meets and in many cases exceeds industry standards for pet food safety P&G Pet Care is still taking the precautionary measure of recalling all products made at this facility.

The following Eukanuba dry pet food products are included:
