Here is some more information about the Feline's Pride recall from the owner of the company: Click here It's too bad they had this recall, because Feline's Pride is an excellent raw food (imho). I purrsonally wouldn't hesitate to feed it. This food is all custom made raw ground food. It's not found in stores, but is shipped (safely) to customers - has been for five years. I've tried it and would feed more of it, but it's pricey when you factor in the shipping (Gump loved it, btw). Just wanted to pass this along, though I know raw isn't for everyone.
