Info: UPC Code 0 19014 21405 1, Lot #s 01384174B4 and 01384174B2
searching it brought up many news story links, this was just the top one:

Procter & Gamble recalls 2 Iams cat food lots

The Associated Press

Sunday, July 25, 2010 | 4:54 p.m.

Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble Co. said Sunday it is voluntarily recalling two lots of Iams brand prescription renal dry cat food because it could be contaminated with salmonella.

The products are available by prescription through veterinary clinics.

No illnesses have been reported, but an FDA analysis identified positive results on two lots of Iams Veterinary Formulas Feline Renal 5.5 lbs: numbers 01384174B4 0 19014 21405 1 and 01384174B2 0 19014 21405 1.

Codes are found in the lower right corner on the back of the bag.

Anyone owning the food should throw it out. Pets can become infected and people handling the dry pet food can become infected with salmonella as well if they do not wash their hands. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, seniors and others with weakened immune systems.

Customers seeking more information or a refund may call P&G at 877-894-4458.
Nothing on the Iams website about it.

This is the renal food we have in our house, but, thankfully, not those lot numbers, so we are safe, for the moment! Thanks for the info. Gave me a scare at first, I must admit.

I don't buy any of the Iams dry any more, and after the last recall on the canned food, guess I won't be buying ANY kind of Iams products.

This recall was expanded and now includes many more items. There is a nother post about it, but it's under P & G expands recall to include Eukanuba or something similar, so I missed it and continued feeding it to my babies until today, when I found out about the expanded recall on another site. Anyway, for those who may not have seen the other thread on this site, it's way bigger than just those few lot numbers!

All I can say is I am glad not to be the rep that has to go around and ensure these items are pulled off shelves
