Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Co., Inc. Wants To Be Reinstated

Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Company Formally Addresses FDA Action

In response to the recent Food and Drug Administration action, Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Co., Inc. has filed a formal request, as allowed by FDA regulations, for reinstatement based on documentation that the company is operating in full compliance with mandatory requirements.

Wheeling, IL (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 -- In response to the recent Food and Drug Administration action, Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Co., Inc. has filed a formal request, as allowed by FDA regulations, for reinstatement based on documentation that the company is operating in full compliance with mandatory requirements.

"Our company has been working closely with the FDA and we have already addressed many of their questions," says Joel Sher, Vice President of Evanger's. "No Evanger's product has been recalled, nor is there any indication that Evanger's products are unsafe or contaminated in any way. Only our canned products have been affected by this action and, again, the FDA has not issued a recall as some blogs have incorrectly stated."
The FDA action appears to be based on a misunderstanding regarding paperwork updating the company's processing protocols that was submitted last year. Joel comments, "Our FDA consultants are in the process of re-submitting these files. The safety and quality of all Evanger's products is our number one concern and we are working closely with FDA to ensure that all record keeping and processes have met, and will continue to meet their strict guidelines."

"As our customers, retailers and distributors know, Evanger's takes the quality and safety of its pet foods very seriously," says Holly Sher, President of Evanger's. "Evanger's has a long history of using the finest human grade ingredients prepared under strict manufacturing procedures. We have been producing safe, wholesome and natural products for over 75 years and continue to feed them daily to our own pets."

Consumers and distributors may contact Evanger's customer service department at (800) 288-6796. In addition, all new or updated information will be posted to www.evangersdogfood.com as soon as it becomes available.
