The Blue Buffalo Company has voluntarily recalled one production run of their Spa Select Kitten dry food. The production code on the recalled product is: "Best Used By Mar. 07 08 B."

The rice protein concentrate used for this one production run was obtained from Wilbur-Ellis, the same company who supplied this ingredient to Natural Balance. This is the first and only time our manufacturing partner sourced an ingredient from Wilbur-Ellis, and Blue Buffalo states that they had no knowledge that they had imported the ingredients from China.
