Topeka, KS (March 21, 2007) – In response to the Menu Foods, Inc. nationwide recall of wet pet foods, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. announced on March 16 a voluntary precautionary recall in the United States of a very small number of canned cat food products that are manufactured by Menu for Hill’s. This involves less than one half of one percent of Hill’s total product line.

This voluntary recall only affects Science Diet® Savory Cuts Feline canned products sold in the United States.

Hill’s is voluntarily recalling the following feline products:
1. Science Diet® Ocean Fish Dinner in Sauce Savory Cuts® Kitten, 3 oz. and 5.5 oz.
2. Science Diet® Beef Dinner in Gravy Savory Cuts® Adult, 5.5 oz
3. Science Diet® Chicken Dinner in Gravy Savory Cuts® Adult, 5.5 oz.
4. Science Diet® Ocean Fish Dinner in Sauce Savory Cuts® Adult, 5.5 oz.
5. Science Diet® Chicken Dinner in Gravy Savory Cuts® Mature Adult 7+, 5.5 oz.

No other Hill’s Science Diet® products and no Prescription Diet® products are affected by this voluntary recall.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc., is taking this precautionary step to protect the health and well being of your pets. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said that consumers of other pet food brands manufactured by Menu Foods have reported a small number of cases of cat fatalities or of cats who become ill with loss of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy, which are potential signs of kidney failure.
This voluntary product recall by Hill’s involves discontinuation of all retail sales and product retrieval from consumers. Consumers should stop using the effected products immediately. Consult with a veterinarian if any symptoms are present in your pet. All Science Diet products carry a 100 percent guarantee, and consumers can receive a refund for recalled products. For more information, consumers can contact the company at 1-800-445-5777 or visit www.HillsPet.com for details.
