Three references of the Purina brand, specializing in cat food, are currently subject to a recall due to the presence of dangerous residues in the kibbles.

Notice to those who live with a cat. A new product recall has been issued by RappelConso, on July 8, and this one is precisely about our four-legged friends. In effect, three Purina brand referencesspecializing in cat food, are being recalled due to the presence of hazardous residues in the croquettes concerned, reports The Parisian. The latter, if they are consumed by your hairball, can thus cause severe diarrheawhich can even, in certain cases, cause death.

The references concerned, which were sold between November 20, 2021 and April 13, 2022, are therefore: PURINA PRO PLAN Original Kitten 1 to 12 months, rich in chicken, PURINA PRO PLAN Sterilized Adult 1+, rich in salmon as well as PURINA ONE Junior from 1 to 12 months, made with selected chicken. It is therefore strongly recommended that you no longer give them to your cat and destroy them. In question: the “presence of possible traces of a residue (2-CE) from water treatment used by an ingredient supplier”.

Violent diarrhea and abnormal vomiting

As reported France 3which collected several testimonials, several animal defense associations as well as shelter managers are facing an unprecedented and very worrying situation: after consuming Purina brand kibble, some kittens suffered from violent diarrhea and vomiting considered abnormalwhich sometimes caused the animal death. Moreover, no prognosis could be established in these identified cases.

“I picked up a kitten last week, he was in perfect health (…). A few days later, he had diarrhea, he was no longer eating (…). I took him to the vet , he was hospitalized. When I picked him up, he was better. Monday morning he was vomiting yellow bile. I did a typhus test which came back negative. Time to bring him back to The veterinarian, he was dying and he diedtold the president of a refuge near Rouen to France 3. For her, as for other association presidents, the problem necessarily comes from certain Purina One croquettes.

Purina apologizes

“All the host families to whom I have provided these kibbles, the kittens had diarrhea right away“, thus assured the manager of a refuge in the Somme, who specified that once the kibbles were removed from the cats’ diet, they were no longer sick. For its part, the company Purina, which presented its excusesattempts to defend itself by certifying that the traces detected “would not present no acute risk (or immediate) nor chronic because that would then imply long-term exposure”. For her, “the quantity of residues present in the batches concerned is located[e] just above the detection limitwhich warranted a recall as a precaution.
