OT MORE RECALLS, NOW INCLUDING DOG TREATS AND MORE CANNED FOOD


Del Monte Pet Products Voluntarily Withdraws Specific Product Codes of Pet
Treats and Wet Dog Food Products
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 2007⒠As a precautionary measure, Del Monte Pet
Products is voluntarily recalling select product codes of its pet treat products
sold under the Jerky Treats®, Gravy Train® Beef Sticks and Pounce Meaty
Morsels® brands as well as select dog snack and wet dog food products sold under
private label brands. A complete list of affected brands and products is
below.
The Company took this voluntary recall action immediately after learning this
morning from the FDA that wheat gluten supplied to Del Monte Pet Products
from a specific manufacturing facility in China contained melamine. Melamine is
a substance not approved for use in food. The FDA made this finding as part
of its ongoing investigation into the recent pet food recall.
The adulteration occurred in a limited production quantity on select product
codes of the brands below. This recall removes all Del Monte pet products
with wheat gluten procured from this manufacturing facility from retail shelves.

No other Del Monte Pet Products treats, biscuits or wet dog food products are
impacted by this recall,and no Del Monte dry cat food, dry dog food, wet cat
food or pouched pet foods are subject to this voluntary recall. The affected
products comprise less than one-tenth of one percent of Del Monte Pet
Products' annual pet food and pet treat production.
Del Monte Pet Products has proactively engaged and fully cooperated with the
FDA since the start of its investigation. The adulterated ingredients were
used in limited production over the last three months for those items
identified by specific product codes. Del Monte Pet Products has not used wheat gluten
from this manufacturing facility in China in any other pet products except
those described below.
Consumers should discontinue feeding the products with the Product Codes
detailed below to their pets.
Del Monte Pet Products are 100% guaranteed and all returned product will be
refunded.
Del Monte Pet Products customers can visit our website or contact our
Consumer Hotline at (800) 949-3799 for further information about the recall and for
instructions on obtaining a product refund. BRANDED Production Code/Best
