Concerned Pet Owner:

The pet food recall that is currently underway has caused concern for many pet owners. We thank you for contacting us directly concerning our products. Here are the facts as they stand today:

Most importantly, we do not have any products involved in this or any other pet food recall. Specific answers to the most common questions we are receiving are:

• All Blue Seal^® branded dry pet food products are made at facilities owned and operated by Blue Seal Feeds, Inc.
• Our Blue Seal^® branded dry pet foods do not contain any of the suspect ingredients “Wheat Gluten”, “Rice Gluten” or “Concentrated Rice Protein”.
• Our Blue Seal^® branded canned pet food products are manufactured by Menu Foods, but are of the loaf category and do not contain wheat gluten or rice gluten. This category of canned product has not been recalled.
• Our By Nature^® and Brandon Farms^™ brands of dry, canned and pouch pet foods, both natural and organic, do not contain any wheat products, rice gluten or rice protein concentrate. Our Canine Whites^™ dog biscuits / treats do, however, contain some wheat gluten, but not from China.
• The majority of ingredients used in the manufacture of all of our products is sourced from North America, if available. Some proprietary ingredients must be sourced from foreign countries because they are only available from foreign sources; for example – trace minerals.

The intent of my message is to reassure customers that our pet products are not affected by any of the pet food recalls. Thank you.
