(May 14, 2007)—The discovery of trace amounts of the chemical melamine has led to the recall of 15 more pet food products.

Royal Canin USA is recalling eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products and seven Kasco drug dog and cat food products after finding trace amounts of the chemical from tainted Chinese rice protein concentrate.

"We deeply regret the concern and anxiety this announcement today will cause our loyal customers and the entire pet community," Olivier Amice, President and CEO of Royal Canin USA, said.

"While a very limited number of Sensible Choice and Kasco products in this recall tested positive for trace levels of a melamine derivative, Royal Canin USA is voluntarily withdrawing these products out of an abundance of caution and because we are fully committed to the welfare of our customers' pets."

The company says consumers who have purchased the recalled products should discontinue use.
