Royal Canin States: We're Not Involved...

The press has released a story today that states that Royal Canin products have been added to the national recall list of pet foods.

According to Royal Canin this is not true. The FDA announcement has confirmed that some of the tainted wheat gluten had been transferred to a Canadian manufacturing facility. There have been 26 additional products added to the recall list as of yesterday. However, Royal Canin is not on this newly released list of pet foods.

Below is Royal Canin's announcement as found on their web page:
