Again, Natura products are being recalled. This is their second recall in the past few months.
Natura is owned by Procter & Gamble.
I used to feed EVO and loved the food and thought that I could have confidence in the company. I switched when Natura sold to Procter & Gamble and don't regret it. I knew the quality would not be maintained and I don't want to have to worry about the safety of my pets' food. If you feel the same way, try Life's Abundance. It's formulated by a holistic vet and has NEVER been recalled. I know I can be confident that I am feeding the best and safest food for my dogs.
Procter & Gamble does not include Natura on their website as one of their brands, or ever publish their affiliation as the owner of Natura.

Natura Pet Issues Voluntary Recall of Specialized Dry Pet Foods Due to Possible Health Risk
FREMONT, NEBRASKA, June 18, 2013 – Natura Pet Products is voluntarily recalling specific lots of dry pet food
because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet
products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms:
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more
serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract
symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare
providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some
pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
These products were packaged in a single production facility. During routine FDA testing, a single lot tested
positive for the presence of Salmonella. There have been no reports of pet or human illness associated with this product. In an abundance of caution, Natura is voluntarily recalling all products with expiration dates prior to June 10, 2014.
The affected products are sold in bags through veterinary clinics, select pet specialty retailers, and online in the
United States and Canada. No canned wet food is affected by this announcement.
The affected products are:
All Lot Codes, All UPC’s, All package sizes, All expiration dates prior to 6-10-2014
- Innova Dry dog and cat food and biscuits/bars/treats
- EVO dry dog, cat and ferret food and biscuits/bars/treats
- California Natural dry dog and cat foods and biscuits/bars/treats
- Healthwise dry dog and cat foods

Consumers who have purchased the specific dry pet foods listed should discard them.
For further information or a product replacement or refund call Natura toll-free at 800-224-6123. (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM CST).
