<p><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'> -- 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 <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jerky
Treats®</span></em>, <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Gravy
Train® Beef Sticks</span></em> and <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Pounce
Meaty Morsels®</span></em> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Consumers
should discontinue feeding the products with the Product Codes detailed below
to their pets. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Del Monte
Pet Products are 100% guaranteed and all voluntarily recalled products will be
refunded. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Del Monte
Pet Products customers can contact our Consumer Hotline at (800) 949-3799 for
