Prairie™ Lamb Meal and Oatmeal Medley for Cats

Information for our Customers

Nature’s Variety has withdrawn distribution of Prairie Lamb Meal and Oatmeal Medley for Cats with the “best if used by” dates of 12/20/08 and 1/25/09. If you purchased a bag of Prairie Lamb Meal and Oatmeal Medley for Cats with those specific “best if used by” dates, please return it to the store for a replacement or refund. The “best if used by” dates are located on the back of the package.

Please be assured, this withdrawal does not involve health risks to cats. At Nature’s Variety, we want to insure that all of our products meet our high quality standards. We have found the affected products to be unacceptable because to the following reasons.

    * The products with a “best if used by” date of 12/20/08 have an unacceptable level of oxidized fat. Oxidation may create an unusual odor. It is very likely that you will notice the smell immediately and that your cat would be sensitive to the smell and will not attempt to eat this food.
    * The products with a “best if used by” date of 1/25/09 have an unacceptable appearance – this kibble is quite crumbly and very dark in color. Again, this unusual appearance will likely be instantly evident to you, and it is unlikely that your cat would eat this food.

Our distributor and retailer partners have been notified of this issue, and we have prevented some from ever reaching your retail store shelf. If, however, you have purchased one of these affected products, please return it to your retail store for a full refund or replacement.

The issues described here relate to our previously identified production challenges during late-2007 and early-2008. As explained previously, we have taken multiple action steps to continually improve and assure the quality of our products for your special pet.

We regret this situation, and we apologize for any inconvenience it has caused you. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us by clicking CONTACT at the top of this page. Someone from our team will be happy to respond to you as quickly as possible.

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,,,,,,,the latest news is archived,,,,,that is what confused me and I did not even see the archive first at all and finally did.  Why is the news about the cat food problems archived when it is April news and March is the latest to see at the top.  Oldest archives first seems, but on the site the newest info is already archived.  Odd since it is about the QC and nonrecall on the cat food.  I just don't trust pet food companies any more.  This is like they are trying to hide the issue but still br able to say it is on the site,,,,,,but not in plain view and how it would make sense.

Just seems like Nature's Variety is trying to hide the problem with the cat food that people supposed to return if they bought.  Archiving information about food that could hurt your cat should be current.  At least news from April should appear right after the news from March.  Have no idea why anyone would trust them with anything.  Why do people still buy food from companies that do things like this? 

The local feed store chain just put out a new flyer advertising NV cat & dog Instinct dry on sale - buy one bag, get another same size half off.  You never would have seen this kind of price cut 6 months ago.

 I believe the special offers can only be found on the NV website. You fill out a form and they send you a coupon that you print out and take to a retailer of their foods.

   I live in NE Ohio, just came back from town that has pet store (I do not have pet store in my town) went in  and yes NV are having special on their instinct bags here to get free trial of raw. Other times in the past there have been other offers.
