<P>Dear Wayne,<BR><BR>Thank you for your email to Costco
Wholesale.<BR><BR>Nestlé Purina PetCare Company </P>
<P>Nestlé Purina PetCare Company has announced it is voluntarily recalling all
sizes and varieties of its ALPO® Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food with specific
date codes. The recalled 13.2-ounce and 22-ounce ALPO Prime Cuts cans and
6-, 8-, 12- and 24-can ALPO Prime Cuts Variety Packs have four-digit code dates
of 7037 through 7053, followed by the plant code 1159. Those codes follow
a “Best Before Feb. 2009” date. This information should be checked on the
bottom of the can or the top or side of the multi-pack cartons. Costco
Wholesale carries this item #13922 in our Midwest and Texas regions only.
If you have purchased this item from a Costco location, you are welcome to
return it for a full refund.</P>
<P>This does not affect any other Costco pet food products nor are any other
