Recalls

Royal Canin recalled products on April 20, 2007 due to the presence of a melamine derivative in the rice protein concentrate in some of its dry pet food products. [ [http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/04-20-2007/0004569918&EDATE= prnewswire.com] ] The South African subsidiary stated, "We at Royal Canin want to express our support and condolences to owners whose pets may have fallen ill or passed away as a result of eating our food."
