This was sent to me today - I know some here feed this so I wanted to pass on... Sorry I don't have more info about it but I thought this was enough.

Solid Gold Voluntary Recall - Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula. Although this recall is not posted on the Sold Gold Website, it has been confirmed by Solid Gold Pet Foods. It is only a small recall, only relating to one product sold in a few states.

Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula Canned Dog Food 13.2 oz Cans – POP-TOP CANS ONLY WITH A 'USE BY DATE 01/02/2010' located on the bottom of can

A limited production of this Turkey canned food was made with the POP-TOP,
and none of the product was distributed in any of the following states:
Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, or Alaska.

Solid Gold has received several complaints regarding mold found in a batch
of 13.2 oz canned Turkey , Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula, with Pop-Tops. As a precautionary measure, they ask that you return any of this product with the 'Use By Date 01/02/2010'; you will find these numbers on the bottom of the cans.

* 13.2 oz Turkey and Ocean Fish Canned Dog Food.
* Purple label with a POP –TOP (Pull top) only..
* Date on bottom of can 01/02/2010
* Turkey and Ocean Fish cans without a Pop-Top are not affected.

I spoke to Solid Gold, they feel the mold issue is due to tiny microscopic holes in some of the pop top lids; allowing air into the can and thus causing a food borne mold. Solid Gold told me this is not an ingredient recall, it only is related to one small batch of food.
