So when we were notified this week that a very small amount of our canned cat product may not have been manufactured to our high-quality standards, we decided to voluntarily recall it from retailers\u2019 shelves.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Though the chance of having affected product is remote, withdrawing these products is the right thing to do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Keeping your trust in our brand is so important to us, and so we wanted to let you and our retailers know right away. Since the products may not have been made consistent with our quality assurance guidelines, we want to replace them. Our Quality team learned that a foreign material was found in non-WellPet products made in the same facility, and so we are taking this conservative step to ensure the well-being of cats and to put our consumers\u2019 minds at ease.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The recipes are in 12.5 oz. cans with the following best buy dates:<\/em><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 252px;\" width=\"619\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"463\">Wellness Chicken &amp; Herring Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/4\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"463\">Wellness Chicken Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date 8\/3\/19 &amp; 8\/4\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wellness Chicken &amp; Lobster Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/4\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wellness Turkey &amp; Salmon Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/5\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"463\">Wellness Turkey Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/4\/19 &amp; 8\/5\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wellness Beef &amp; Chicken Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/5\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wellness Beef &amp; Salmon Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8\/5\/19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnesspetfood.com\/labels\/\">click here<\/a> for how the best by date appears on your can.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have any of the 12.5 oz recipes with these best buy dates, you may email us at <a href=\"mailto:info@wellpet.com\">info@wellpet.com<\/a> or call us at 1-877-227-9587 and we\u2019ll replace your product.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>No other Wellness recipes that your pets currently enjoy are involved, so you can continue to feed your pets Wellness with full confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>WellPet has worked hard to earn the trust of pet parents, and we fully intend on maintaining that trust.
