Default Blue Buffalo food recall

October 8, 2010

Dear Fellow Pet Parent,

At Blue Buffalo, nothing is more important than the health and well
being of our dogs and cats, so it’s consistent with this guiding
principle that we are voluntarily recalling specific production runs of
our Wilderness Chicken-Dog, Basics Salmon-Dog and Large Breed Adult Dog
products, as we have reason to believe that the products from these runs
may contain a higher level of Vitamin D than is called for in our
product specifications.

We came to this conclusion after discovering that our ingredient
supplier had made a scheduling error and produced a Vitamin D supplement
immediately prior to preparing the ingredients for the BLUE products
that are in question. We believe that some of the Vitamin D supplement
may have been carried over into our products, resulting in more Vitamin
D than is called for in our formulas.

While the potential of increased Vitamin D presents no serious health
risk, and any negative reaction to these products has been confined to a
very small segment of the canine population who appear to be sensitive
to higher levels of Vitamin D, we have a zero tolerance for any product
that does not meet our specifications. I think you’ll agree that our
decision to withdraw these specific products is simply the right thing
to do.

From a next steps standpoint, all products with the specific
manufacturing dates in question will be removed from retailer’s shelves.
If you have any products with the codes shown below you should stop
feeding them immediately.You may call Blue Buffalo at
1-877-523-9114 to arrange for return of the product and reimbursement.

These are the ONLY code dates being recalled:
Product Bag Size Best Used By Dates
BLUE Wilderness Chicken (Dog) 4.5 lb., 11 lb., 24lb. JUL1211B,
JUL1311B, JUL2611Z, JUL2711Z, JUL2811Z
BLUE Basics Salmon (Dog) 11 lb., 24 lb. AUG2111B, AUG2211B
BLUE Large Breed Adult Chicken 30 lb. SEP 22 11 P, SEP 23 11 P, OCT 26
11 P

This Vitamin D issue does not effect any other code dates of these
products or any other Blue Buffalo dog or cat foods. In addition, new
bags of Wilderness Chicken, Basics Salmon and Large Breed Adult Chicken
will be available on the shelves so you can continue to feed BLUE with
complete confidence.

If your dog has shown any adverse reaction to the recalled products,
have him checked by your veterinarian. Typical symptoms might include
excessive water intake and/or excessive urination, and in some cases
vomiting. Blue Buffalo will reimburse any veterinary or testing expenses
related to illness caused by these products.

As Blue Buffalo is a family founded and run company, I am personally
very upset about this and apologize for any discomfort or inconvenience
that this situation has caused you or your pet family members. Product
quality and safety have been, and always will be our top priority, and
we’ve taken some serious corrective action to insure that this type of
human error will never happen again.

Bill Bishop
