“Nature’’s Variety Recalls Selected Bags Of Instinct Rabbit Meal Formula Grain Free Kibble Diet For Cats
Nature’s Variety has issued a voluntary recall of two date codes and two sizes of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rabbit Meal Formula grain free kibble for cats. Nature’s Variety recently discovered that some bags of its Instinct Rabbit Meal Formula kibble for cats may contain small pieces of ground sorghum in the product. While this presents no health risk to the cats being fed this product, the company says that this formulation is not consistent with Instinct’s grain free standards or Nature’s Variety’s insistence upon meeting the highest standards of integrity for all products.

According to Nature’s Variety, very little of this kibble has made it to the market, and there is no health risk to people or pets. However, any consumer who has the affected product should stop feeding it to their cat, and return it to their retailer for a refund.

The two lot codes of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rabbit Meal Formula grain free kibble diet for cats affected by the recall are:

UPC# 7 69949-60385 6– 5.5 lb. best if used by 09/28/11
UPC# 7 69949-60381 8– 12.1 lb. best if used by 09/29/11”

    I heard someone mention that their pet store was pulling Instinct off their shelves because they are now sourcing their rabbits from China? Any truth to this, or is the rabbit safe? I know they stopped carrying rabbit kibble and canned for dogs and cats for quite some time where I live because of a rabbit shortage from their supplier.

    I just called this company on Friday (7/31/14) to ask this very question. They stated that they get all their rabbits from France and that nothing is from china. Also stated that nothing is shipped to China fort processing. Stated that they have not used china for “a long time”. Hopefully they are being truthful because my cats love their wet foods and I’d love to try their raw.
