Peanut Recall

Hey Everyone!

As you know, there have been many voluntary recalls related to peanut paste. These recalls are now including PetsMart, who has voluntarily recalled some of their products, as you can read below.

I just wanted to assure everyone that our treats made with peanut are safe. This means your dogs can still enjoy our Peanut Barkers, Peanut Butter Softbites and Allergy Treats! We do NOT use peanut paste in our treats, and the peanut that we do use is NOT from Peanut Corporation of America.

Hope that helps everyone feel a little safer this morning.

PHOENIX, AZ, January 20, 2009 — PetSmart is voluntarily recalling seven of its Grreat Choice® Dog Biscuit products that contain peanut paste made by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA is the focus of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation into potential salmonella contamination of peanut butter and paste made at its Blakely, Georgia facility.

Although PetSmart is not aware of any reported cases of illness related to these products, it has removed these products from its store shelves and website and is conducting the recall as a precautionary measure.

The recalled products include only the following types of Grreat Choice Dog Biscuits sold between Aug. 21, 2008 and Jan. 19, 2009:

  • Small Assorted 32 oz., UPC 73725702900
  • Small/Medium Assorted 4 lb., UPC 73725700601
  • Small/Medium Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700605
  • Small/Medium Assorted 10 lb., UPC 73725702755
  • Large Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700638
  • Extra Large Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700779
  • Peanut Butter 4 lb., UPC 73725700766
