<p>Rice protein concentrate has been indicated as a possible source of melamine
recently found in pet food products. As a precautionary measure Wilbur-Ellis
company, the supplier of rice protein concentrate, is voluntarily recalling all
lots of rice protein concentrate. We received notification from the
manufacturer today, April 25, 2007, suggesting we issue a precautionary recall.

<p>Two of our products: Adult Lite Dry Dog (Item #'s 14178, 14179, 14180,
14262, 14263) and Adult Lite Dry Cat foods (Item #'s 12855, 12856, 13864,
13865) contain rice protein concentrate. <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Only
