dog food recalls

The below is quoted from an email I received from the FDA, however when I clicked on the link the page said it had been moved. So I am taking what was directly in my email until I can find out more. Again due to above accepted levels of Aflatoxin.


"Petrus Feed and Seed Stores, Inc. recalls its 21% Dog Food

Petrus Feed and Seed Stores, Inc. today announced a voluntary recall of its dry dog food – 21% Protein Dog Food in 40 lb Petrus Feed bags. The product is being recalled because the product was manufactured with corn which tested above acceptable levels for Aflatoxin."
