Wysong Issues Second Recall Of Some Dry Dog Foods

Wysong has expanded its recent recall to included more dry dog foods sold under the Wysong brand.  These products have been found to be suspect in terms of moisture and water activity, but an in-house examination of many bags from these batches has turned up no sign of mold according to the company. Wysong is recalling the food as a precaution.

These products should not be fed to pets. They should be returned to the store where they were purchased for a full refund

The recalled dog foods are

Wysong Maintenance™ (lot# 090817)
Wysong Senior™ (lot# 090811)
Wysong Synorgon™ (lot# 090629)

“As with our previous recalled batches of product, we have no reason to believe that these products present an imminent hazard to animals,” said the company in a prepared statement. 

Earlier Wysong recalled bags of food that were found to have mold.  These bags of Wysong dry extruded maintenance and senior dog foods manufactured in June and July of 2009.
