How I can tell if the food I give my cat came from Canada or the United States

Our question this week was:

Thank you very much for the update on the pet food crisis. It was very much appreciated and very helpful. I have one more question. I live in Canada and would like to know how I can tell if the food I give my cat came from Canada or the United States. Once again thank you for your help.

Hi Annette – thanks for your email. I'm glad you have found our recall updates helpful. I have found it confusing for my clients to figure out what is going on.

As far as your question, my understanding is that the can says where it was produced. I put a few calls and emails out and no one responded to this question.

I'd recommend focusing on the codes that indicate if the product has been recalled.

I hope this helps. By the way, the an updated list of recalled pet foods, call 1-866-895-2708 or go to http://www.menufoods.
