[Vision2020] Be Aware: MASSIVE Pet Food Recall

[Saundra Lund]

Visionaires:

For those who have companion animal cats and/or dogs and feed canned food, I
hope y'all have heard by now about the massive recall announced yesterday
and have checked your foods to make sure you're not feeding any of the
suspect lots.  As a co-owner of the world's largest and original list serve
for CRF cats & their caregivers, this hits too close to home for me since
the tainted foods reportedly cause renal symptoms/failure.

This is a developing story, but to check what you're feeding against the
current known recall foods, here are some resources:
