Del Monte Pet Products Voluntarily Withdraws Specific Product Codes of Pet
Treats and Wet Dog Food Products

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 2007 -- As a precautionary
measure, Del Monte Pet Products is voluntarily recalling select product
codes of its pet treat products sold under the Jerky TreatsR, Gravy TrainR
Beef Sticks and Pounce Meaty MorselsR brands as well as select dog snack and
wet dog food products sold under private label brands. A complete list of
affected brands and products is below. 

The Company took this voluntary recall action immediately after learning
this morning from the FDA that wheat gluten supplied to Del Monte Pet
Products from a specific manufacturing facility in China contained melamine.
Melamine is a substance not approved for use in food. The FDA made this
finding as part of its ongoing investigation into the recent pet food
recall. 

The adulteration occurred in a limited production quantity on select product
codes of the brands below. This recall removes all Del Monte pet products
with wheat gluten procured from this manufacturing facility from retail
shelves. 

No other Del Monte Pet Products treats, biscuits or wet dog food products
are impacted by this recall, and no Del Monte dry cat food, dry dog food,
wet cat food or pouched pet foods are subject to this voluntary recall. The
affected products comprise less than one-tenth of one percent of Del Monte
Pet Products' annual pet food and pet treat production.

Del Monte Pet Products has proactively engaged and fully cooperated with the
FDA since the start of its investigation. The adulterated ingredients were
used in limited production over the last three months for those items
identified by specific product codes. Del Monte Pet Products has not used
wheat gluten from this manufacturing facility in China in any other pet
products except those described below. 

Consumers should discontinue feeding the products with the Product Codes
detailed below to their pets. 

Del Monte Pet Products are 100% guaranteed and all voluntarily recalled
products will be refunded. 

Del Monte Pet Products customers can contact our Consumer Hotline at (800)
949-3799 for further information about the recall and for instructions on
