This was posted on another hedgehog site I am a member on and I wanted to share it here as well.


Natura Pet has confirmed they are recalling at least 20 pet food
products affecting dogs, cats, and ferrets. We heard a rumor that
Natura was having a major recall due to
possible salmonella contamination. After spending half an hour on hold
with them, a friendly representative finally confirmed the recall and
gave us the list. Why they don’t have a readily available press release
on their website or through the FDA, we don’t know. The products
listed below may be contaminated with salmonella. These products appear
to be distributed nationwide through PetCo, various online retailers,
and local businesses. This is shaping up to be a large recall. Please
spread the word. Like Healing Springs Animal Hospital on Facebook for
the latest pet health & safety updates.

This is not the
first negative news since Proctor & Gamble purchased Natura Pet in
2010. In 2011, Natura Pet settled a $2.15 million class action lawsuit
for allegedly overstating the quality of their ingredients. The lawsuit
was started in 2009, one year before Proctor & Gamble became
involved with Natura Pet.

The recall affects the products named
below that also have an expiration date between 12/17/13 and 1/2/14.
If you have products possibly contanimated with salmonella, you should
discontinue use. You can contact the company (800) 532-7261 between 8
a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (CST) Monday – Friday. Good thing it’s a toll-free
number considering the possible on-hold wait time and the lack of recall
help on their website.

Thanks much for posting. I know Innova is typically on the recommended list for hedgies.

Do you suppose there is actually kangaroo meat in that one kibble?

P&g can change the formula and has up to 6months to change the bags... I manage a pet store and I've had a problem with natura since they sold out.. They are even making it difficult doing the frequent buyer program! Taste of the Wild is by far my best seller and their voluntary recall they accuatlly had NO bags affected they just share a couple plants with another brand that was so they did a recall as a precautionary measure.. My second tied for best sellers is earth born and canidae! All formulas are really great if you want to feed your dog a kibble diet... And all the grain free rate 5stars on the dog food advisor!!

Sort of off topic but we actually occasionally prescribe foods with kangaroo meat as the main protein to some of our food allergy patients. Considering we don't often eat kangaroo in the states, many dogs with chicken/beef allergies actually do pretty well on it since they haven't been exposed to it before. :))

Thanks! I'd been legitimately wondering about that.
