Update on Wysong Recall

Thursday, 29 October 2009
As a result of Wysong's recall they have been retesting all of their dry products. Although their examination has found no additional signs of mold, they are electing to play it safe and also recall the following product:

Wysong MaintenanceTM (lot#090817) Wysong SeniorTM (lot#090811) Wysong SynorgonTM (lot#090629) This is in addition to the following product already recalled:

Wysong MaintenanceTM: lot #: 090617 Wysong MaintenanceTM: lot #: 090624 Wysong MaintenanceTM: lot #: 090706 Wysong MaintenanceTM: lot #: 090720 Wysong SeniorTM: lot #: 090623 Lot numbers can be found on the top of the box and the bottom of the bag, although the latter can be hard to ready. If you need assistance, please let us know. We will be contacting  all customers who have purchased Maintenance, Senior or Synorgon between June 1st and today. I suggest you go to Wysong's website (http://www.wysong.net/moreinfo.php) for a complete explanation of the recall. If you have any of the affected food which was purchased at Green Acres, you can return these bags to Green Acres where they can be exchanged for product with non-affected lot codes or we can issue you a refund.
