Breaking news
March 31, 2007

Nestle Purina PetCare Company has announced that it is voluntarily recalling all sizes and varieties of its ALPO Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food.

The recalled 13.2-ounce and 22-ounce ALPO Prime Cuts cans, and 6-,8-,12- and 24-can ALPO Prime Cuts Variety Packs have four-digit code dates of 7037 through 7053, followed by the plant code 1159. Those codes follow a "Best Before Feb. 2009" date. Look for this information on the bottom of individual cans, or the top or side of the multi-pack cartons.

Purina's 5.3 ounce Mighty Dog pouch products, manufactured by Menu Foods, were previously withdrawn from the market as a precaution on March 16th.

No Purina brand dry pet foods are affected by the recall, including ALPO Prime Cuts dry.
