I received this recall notification today. Although I don't own a dog, I figured there might be someone on zootoo who uses this brand of food... I never heard of it, myself....
Wysong Issues Second Recall Of Some
Dry Dog Foods
Wysong has expanded its recent recall to included more dry dog foods sold under the Wysong brand. These products have been found to be suspect in terms of moisture and water activity, but an in-house examination of many bags from these batches has turned up no sign of mold according to the company. Wysong is recalling the food as a precaution.
These products should not be fed to pets. They should be returned to the store where they were purchased for a full refund
The recalled dog foods are
Wysong Maintenance™ (lot# 090817)
Wysong Senior™ (lot# 090811)
Wysong Synorgon™ (lot# 090629)
“As with our previous recalled batches of product, we have no reason to believe that these products present an imminent hazard to animals,” said the company in a prepared statement.
Earlier Wysong recalled bags of food that were found to have mold. These bags of Wysong dry extruded maintenance and senior dog foods manufactured in June and July of 2009. The affected products from this recall are Wysong Maintenance and Wysong Senior. The lot numbers of the affected batches are as follows:
Wysong Maintenance lot #: 090617
Wysong Maintenance: lot #: 090624
Wysong Maintenance: lot #: 090706
Wysong Maintenance: lot #: 090720
Wysong Senior lot #: 090623
The lot numbers are on the top flaps of boxes and pressed into the bottom seal of bags. Anyone having difficulty reading the numbers on the bottom of the bags should contact the company. Anyone with any doubts about the safety of the food should stop feeding it to their pet immediately and contact the company. Here is Wysong’s contact information:
Hours of Operation Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (EST)

Fax 1-989-631-9280

Depending on which type of mold grows on food, the effects can range from barely noticeable to lethal. If your pet becomes ill after eating any suspicious food, you should contact a veterinarian immediately.

I love feeding my cat Taste of the Wild (tasteofthewildpetfood.com), and that hasn't been recalled yet that I know of, though the company that creates it (Diamond) has had recalls of other brands they make. That was purely because the other brands they make have grains in them, and were apart of the melamine scare a few years back. Taste of the Wild is great because it doesn't have those grains (which cause allergies in pets), and they do not use byproducts, and is great for all of the life stages of your pet. I only pay $10/ 5lb bag, which I don't usually have to buy another bag for 2 to 4 months (my cat eats more in the winter, no surprise) because it isn't filled with fillers (grains, corn) so she doesn't need to eat as much because of the fillers, and its high protein so it keeps her active, her coat is healthy and beautiful, and she isn't unhealthy or fat.
I considered Wysong back when I first got her, but when I read their articles ripping Solid Gold apart, I lost all respect for them. Solid Gold is another great food I'd recommend; my cat did great on it, but she liked the taste of Taste of the Wild better (picky kitty).
Am I surprised to hear Wysong has been recalled? Not in the slightest. They claim such strict quality control standards, but any company that has the time to criticize other REALLY GOOD pet food companies, and doesn't actually have any merit to their arguments.. I wonder about how well they are actually looking out for the quality of their pet food. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much.."
