This was posted on the Natura website last night. (they make California Natural, Innova, Evo, and Karma) I just switched everyone (cats too) to California Natural, and this makes me feel a little better.
They had previously said that they use all US ingredients.
Hello. My name is Peter Atkins and I am President and one of the owners and founders of Natura Pet Products. I want to take this opportunity to assure you that all dry, canned and baked treat products made by Natura Pet Products are absolutely 100% safe to feed and have not been involved in any way with the recent pet food recalls.
Understanding your need for the absolute certainty that the pet food products you feed your pet are safe, I have instituted a new initiative, which I hope will set your mind at ease. Over the past few weeks, Natura Pet Products has directed an independent laboratory, Midwest Laboratories, to begin a program of testing our ingredients and ALL of our finished products for melamine contamination – this includes dry, canned and baked treats. And, as expected, all tests have confirmed that there is no melamine in our foods. Furthermore, Natura Pet Products has incorporated melamine testing as a standard part of our expanded, 120 point ingredient quality control program. This means that all Natura pet foods will be tested and confirmed to be melamine free before being released to the market for resale.
Finally, I want to make sure that you know that we take very seriously our responsibility to provide healthful and safe products for the thousands of dogs and cats that eat Natura pet foods. All of us here at Natura Pet Products give you our absolute commitment that we will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure your pet’s nutritional health and safety. We appreciate the trust you place in us and hope that you will continue to rely on us for your pet’s care and feeding.
