As a precautionary measure, DLM Foods Canada Corporation says it is voluntarily withdrawing Jerky Treats Dog Treats Beef Flavour with the best before date of 16.08.08 that were manufactured in a Chinese factory.
The company says consumers should discontinue feeding this product to their dogs and return affected products to their store for a refund.
The company says it took this voluntary withdrawal action after learning from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration that wheat gluten supplied to DLM Foods from a specific manufacturing facility in China contained melamine. Melamine is a substance not approved for use in food in the United States. The FDA made this finding as part of its ongoing investigation into the recent pet food recall in the United States. DLM Foods says it conferred with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to coordinate the details of this voluntary withdrawal as it applied to the Canadian market.
DLM Foods says it has not used wheat gluten from this manufacturing facility in China in any other pet products except those described above. This withdrawal removes all DLM Foods pet products with wheat gluten procured from this manufacturing facility from retail shelves.
The company has not provided further information on the location of this China factory.
