To Our NB Community:
Natural Balance has just been
notified by Diamond Pet Foods, one of our co-manufacturers, that certain Natural
Balance dry food formulas produced in their Gaston, SC facility should be
voluntarily recalled.
Although there have been no animal illnesses
reported and none of our Natural Balance products included in the recall have
tested positive for Salmonella, we have voluntarily initiated this recall as a
precautionary measure.
