Veterinarians connected to Ghent University sounded the alarm because young puppies had seizures after eating certain types of dog food.

This relates to chunks of Bento Kronen, “Lamb & Rice All Breeds Growth 8.” It is not yet proven whether the seizures are directly related to the consumption of the kibble, but according to veterinarian Sofie Bhati, head neurology clinic at the University of Ghent, all affected puppies ate the pellets.

The producer, Versele-Laga, has already been informed. The Federal Agency for the Safety of Food calls the case “weird”. “We are awaiting the results of the investigation, but assume that possibly a supplier changed the composition without
our knowledge. As a precaution we have decided to recall the products distributed during the recent 8 months”, said marketing manager Ann Breugelmans….
similar recall steps have been undertaken in Israel. The local importer/distributor of “Lamb & Rice All Breeds Growth 8,” produced in Belgium by Versele-Laga, has been required by Israel’s Veterinary Services on 19 May 2011 to collect the product from the shops and from private clients. No cases in puppies have been recorded in Israel.

One illness of a dog in Missouri has been reported to date.

The recall is a result of a reported illness of a dog in Missouri who consumed pig ears from the same production lot but from product sold by a different distributor. The distributor has been working with the FDA to identify any products that might contain the bacteria. The company and the FDA is continuing the investigation to determine what caused the problem.

Consumers that have purchased any of the PrimeTime or KC Beefhide pig ear products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-913-342-5010 Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
