WARNING DOG FOOD RECALLS

More info on the recall.....last week there was a shelf pull of some other Iams products, although not a "recall" per se....but it would seem that more than just this one batch may be problematic as far as aflatoxins are concerned.

The Procter and Gamble Co. voluntarily recalled a single-production lot of Iams Proactive Health Smart Puppy dry dog food due to aflatoxin levels detected above the acceptable limit, the Cincinnati-based company reported today.
