A few of us have been trying to find out what foods are or aren't made by Menu Foods. Much of the information came from calls to the manufacturers.

Here is the list I have compiled so far. THESE FOODS ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. This info is only to inform people of where foods are made, in case they don't want to feed any foods made at Menu Foods. This information was gathered from various sources, including manufacturers themselves, and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

Blue Buffalo: Not made by Menu Foods. Canned foods made by American Nutrition in Utah. Dry foods made at CJ Foods in Kansas.

Breeder's Choice: Wet products made by Menu Foods, but not involved in the recall.

Also, Trader Joe's is not involved in the recall, but is voluntarily removing all canned foods made by Menu Foods, only as a precaution.

How about Pedigree canned? I use this as a topping for my older dogs, when they aren't eating?

What about Purina? I think they process their own as well.

If it helps here is the list of what IS affected

Menu Foods Dog List

As far as Purina products the only brand effected is Might Dog pouches.
Pedigree seems to be untouched.
Pretty much every dog food manufacturer has something published on their site in regards to this recall.

Also, of the foods on the "recall list" none of those companies' dry foods have been recalled...most of them are manufactured in completely different food processing plants.

It seems to be *just* the canned or pouched "chunks and gravy" varieties.

purina products are not made by menu foods and I am 99% sure mighty dog is not currently made by purina, Purina is made by Nestle Purina Pet care company, St Louise, MO

From the purina site:

We want to take this opportunity to reassure you that Mighty Dog pouch products are the ONLY Purina® brand products affected by Menu Foods' recall. Nestlé Purina stands behind the high-quality of our pet foods, and all Purina brand cat food products and all other Purina brand dog food products, including Mighty Dog canned products, can continue to be fed to your pets with complete confidence.

might dog canned is on the recall. But the beef chunks & gravy in POUCHES are what's being recalled. Made by menu foods.

Diane I think you goofed I received mail from Purina saying that the Mighty dog is not on recall at all just the pouch foods and they did it voluntarily! The mail was sent to all breeders that belong to the breeder club for puppy kits and the circle program . I received it last week.
I think you meant to say that mighty dog is not on the recall just the pouch foods.

Pro Plan is not on the recall

mmmmmm Well i know i read some where that the only canned food. was Mighty dog.But the chunky cuts/gravy in pouches was also being recalled.

yes your right it's Mighty dog 5.3 ounce pouch foods being recalled. I also recieved that but i think it went by the way side before i could read it. Purina mailer.

is nutro max dry on the list as well? i didnt think it was but the list on menu is slightly confusing, since i dont have bag numbers because my food is in bins, not the bags.

What I decided to do is to make my own stew to top the food and not buy any wet foods until this is well and far passed. So sad to the people and animals who have suffered.
