I'm kind of confused. There was a recall back in May 2007 for Natural Balance.
This is the information:

Type of Pet: Dog
Manufacturer: American Nutrition
Brand of Food: Natural Balance (RICE GLUTEN)
Product Description: Natural Balance Chicken Formula
Best Before Date: Aug 21 09 - Apr 15 10
Type of Packaging/Container: Can
Size: 13oz


Now my expiration date says May 10, 2010. Does that mean my food is affected, or safe?
Thanks,
Lisa

sounds like it would be safe to me, but i would look for a phone # on the can and call to ask for sure

I can't find that food listed on any of the lists I've been able to find so far.  Here is a link to the FDA's recall dog food and dog food manufacturers.

I also read an article that says that Wal-Mart is reshelving, relabeling, and reselling previously recalled pet food and treats.  Make sure if you purchase your dog food or treats at Wal-Mart that there isn't another date or lot number sticker placed over the original packaging.  Can't substantiate it.

Oh hmmm, I went to the FDA site too and went to search foods... http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/ ... tml#recall

I would toss it. Why take the chance.
