Menu Foods Issues Nationwide U.S. and Canadian Recall of Specific Canned and Small Foil Pouch 'Wet' Cat and Dog Foods
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com), March 18, 2007 - In response to the recent Menu Foods, Inc. nationwide recall of wet pet foods, P&G Pet Care has announced a voluntary recall in the United States and Canada on specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch "wet" cat and dog food products manufactured by Menu Foods Inc. Emporia, Kansas plant with the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197.
This voluntary recall is part of a larger product recall by Menu Foods Inc., a contract manufacturer that makes a small portion of canned and foil pouch 'wet' cat foods for Iams and Eukanuba as well as other non-P&G brands. There have been a small number of reported cases of cats from the US (none in Canada) becoming sick and developing signs of kidney failure. The signs of kidney failure include loss of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy. P&G Pet Care has received no case reports involving dogs.
This voluntary product recall involves discontinuation of all retail sales and product retrieval from consumers. Consumers should stop using the affected products immediately, and consult with a veterinarian if any symptoms are present in their pet. All Iams and Eukanuba products carry a 100 percent guarantee, and consumers can receive a refund for recalled products. For more information, consumers can contact the company at 1-800-882-1591 or visit www.Iams.com and www.Eukanuba.com for details.
Schnucks and Logli customers in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee and Mississippi may return the specified products to their nearest store for a full refund.
To read can product codes, refer to the bottom of the can. The first four numbers of the second line of numbers are the date code, and the following four numbers indicate the plant code. For example, if the second line begins with four numbers from 6339 to 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, then the can should be recalled. For foil pouches, the code numbers are located at the lower left hand corner on the back of the pouch. The date and plant codes appear in the third group of numbers, beginning an 11-digit sequence.
Iams and Eukanuba "dry" products are not manufactured at Menu Foods and not affected by this issue. Iams and Eukanuba biscuits, treats and sauces are not affected by this issue.
Women's Council Celebrates Women's History Month
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com), March 18, 2007 - The theme for Women's History Month 2007, "Generations of women moving history forward", celebrates the wisdom and tenacity of prior and future generations of women, recognizing the power and impact of generations working together.
Each year, March is designated as National Women's History Month to ensure that the history of American women will be recognized and celebrated in schools, workplaces, and communities throughout the country. The stories of women's historic achievements present an expanded view of the complexity and contradiction of living a full and purposeful life.
According to Mary Cottom, executive director of the Missouri Women's Council, "Moving History Forward" is a process of individuals coming together for the greater good of the society and confirming the idea that individuals working together can be effective in building a better, more compassionate world.
"The knowledge of women's history provides a more expansive vision of what a woman can do," Cottom said. "This perspective can encourage girls and women to think larger and bolder and can give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience."
The Missouri Women's Council works closely with other agencies and community-based
organizations to promote the well being of women in Missouri. Located within the Department of Economic Development, the council was created by statute in 1985 to identify and address issues affecting the economic and employment status of Missouri women.
The council, which is comprised of 15 members - including two members of the Senate, two from the House, and 11 appointed by the Gov. Matt Blunt - offers information and resources on starting a business; women in business; finding a job; job skills enhancement; working from home; and obtaining state contracts. It also publishes a "Self-Sufficiency Standard" with information regarding income needed to sustain a family. The council also publishes the "Women's Resource Guide," a directory of programs, services and web sites related to issues of interest to women.
While the council was established to focus on helping women find new sources to start or improve businesses, Cottom said its duties have since expanded to include women working from the home.
