Royal Canin Press Release:

On behalf of the entire Royal Canin family, our hearts go out to pet owners like you and everyone in the pet community who has been affected by all of the recent pet food recalls.

As you many know, Royal Canin USA immediately initiated a voluntary recall of the following eight dry pet food products on April 19, 2007 once our company determined these products contained a melamine derivative linked to many of the recent nationwide pet food recalls and the US Food and Drug Administration investigation into this issue.

The following list contains the only Royal Canin USA pet food products that have been recalled. All of our other products are safe for pets to eat.

Pet owners should immediately stop feeding their pets any of the following eight Royal Canin USA dry pet food products listed here:
