Posted: December 20, 2010, 12:58 p.m.

Press Release:

The Kroger Co. issued a recall on Saturday of select varieties of dog and cat food sold in some of its stores, mostly in the South and Midwest, because the products may contain the toxic chemical aflatoxin.
The affected product includes certain Pet Pride, Old Yeller and Kroger Value brands with Oct. 23, 2011 and Oct. 24, 2011 sell by dates.
Kroger stores in the following states are included in this recall:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
The recall also includes Dillons and Gerbes stores in Kansas and Missouri; Baker’s stores in Nebraska; Food 4 Less stores in Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana (Chicago area); and Jay C, Hilander, Owen’s, Pay Less and Scott’s stores in Illinois and Indiana.
The Kroger Co. manufactured the recalled pet food items at its own facility in Springfield, Tenn., according to company spokeswoman Denise Osterhues. No other manufacturers are included in this recall.
The recalled products may contain aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxic chemical by-product from the growth of the fungus Aspergillus flavus on corn and other crops.
Pet owners are advised to contact their veterinarian if their dog or cat shows any signs of illness, including sluggishness or lethargy, combined with a reluctance to eat, yellowish tint to the eyes and/or gums and severe or bloody diarrhea.
Kroger reported that it is using its Customer Recall Notification system to alert customers who many have purchased a recalled item. Customers who have purchased a recalled item should stop using the product and return it to a store for a full refund or replacement.
