City of Industry, CA (August 22, 2007) - It has been brought to our attention that confusion has been caused by the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Import Refusal report. We wish to assure our customers that this report is in no way a cause for concern about the quality and safety of Nutro pet foods currently on store shelves. This report lists recalled product that has been returned to Nutro from overseas. This product is not intended for sale.

Immediately upon being notified of the Menu Foods recalls in March and April 2007, Nutro ordered the discontinuation of all sales of the involved products, removal of these products from retail stores, and the isolation of product in warehouses and distribution centers. Nutro also ordered recalled product to be shipped back to the U.S. from overseas for proper handling. Some of this product is the subject of the FDA report.

Pet owners can feel confident in our products and contact us directly with questions. For more information about Nutro's pet foods or for answers to any questions you may have, please contact Nutro's Customer Service representatives at 1-800-833-5330, or visit our Web site at www.nutroproducts.com .
