Three batches of the pet food brand, sold between November and April, are under the surveillance of health authorities.
Cat owners are urged to be cautious. If they feed their pet with certain kibbles from Purina, they must absolutely check that they are not included in the three batches recalled by the health authorities since the end of last week. According to the official site rappel.conso.gouv.fr, traces of 2-CE residue, resulting from a water treatment used by one of the brand’s ingredient suppliers, were found in this animal food. Suspected of being the cause of poisoning, this element would have caused the death of several cats after its indigestion.
