Westerners and Pacific Northwesterners take note. From Food Safety News:
Nestl Purina PetCare Company is recalling approximately 870 bags of dry cat food shipped to Colorado, Idaho and Oregon that may be contaminated with Salmonella.
These bags of dry cat food were distributed in error in February, 2011 to a small number of customers in Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, which may have further distributed the product to other Western states.

I’ve never been a particularly huge fan of Friskies, and I’m also not a fan of massive conglomerates such as Nestl Purina or The Very Big Corporation of America.
And wasn’t Nestl the company that tried to deceive impoverished women in developing countries that the company’s infant formula was superior to breast milk? According to all-knowing and never inaccurate Wikipedia, it was.
