Here's the latest, as of April 20th, although today is the 25th and I just now got this notice from the FDA! And this food doesn't appear on lists I regularly check.
STATEMENT: On Friday, April 20, SmartPak initiated a voluntary recall of a single production run of the LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food. The particular lot of food recalled included rice protein concentrate that was supplied by Wilbur-Ellis, the same company that supplied rice protein concentrate contaminated with Melamine to Natural Balance. This was the first time that our supplier purchased and used rice protein concentrate from Wilbur-Ellis. No previous lots were affected, nor do we use rice protein concentrate in any other formulas of LiveSmart dog or cat foods. Thankfully, the product was just produced, and only a very limited amount of product had left our facility prior to the recall (less than 1200 pounds). We have notified every affected pet owner via both phone and email. We have not had any reports of injury to any dogs. Dogs who have consumed the LiveSmart Weight Management food and show signs of kidney failure (such as loss of appet*ite, lethargy and vomiting) should be seen by a veterinarian. We have temporarily suspended further distribution of the LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food. We will notify you when we have the product back in stock and will continue to update our website as more information becomes available. -------------------- Compassion for all animals. www.earthlings.com

As a precautionary measure Wilbur-Ellis company, the supplier of rice protein concentrate, is voluntarily recalling all lots of rice protein concentrate.

Yes, this is SO scary!!!!
Here's the latest comprehensive list: http://thepetfoodlist.com/doc um ents/recall_list Denise, I hope you and your babies are all fine!! I've been thinking of you through all this. Mine are fine although last summer Farmey (the chained dog I adopted) was deathly ill and he had been eating one of the recalled foods back then! Recently I heard the FDA admit that some of these foods may have been tainted way back last summer! Love to all, Kathy p.s. I can't get the link to post correctly. The middle word is d o c u m e n t s . Don't know why it didn't copy. -------------------- Compassion for all animals. www.earthlings.com

some of the letters in do%%ents spell a banned word, so the software puts in %%% instead.
