A number of pet treats or dog biscuits have also been voluntarily recalled in Canada and the U. S. as a precaution during the past 10 days.
But you won't find that list
on the CFIA website. For that list, you will have to go to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration website to find the list of recalled pet products and then to individual company sites to determine if those products were sold in Canada.
CFIA spokesman Tim O'Connor said the pet products are manufactured in the U. S., so Canadian consumers should go to the FDA website to get their information.
But he said once recalls are initiated by manufacturers, any retailers in Canada that carry those pet treats are certainly encouraged to pull them off their shelves.
PetSmart removed products from its shelves voluntarily.
PetSmart spokeswoman Jennifer Simmons said Saturday "we decided to do this on our own as a precautionary measure ... just to make sure everything we have is good to go." |
