UK retailers recall dry cat food

Sainsbury's and Pets at Home are among the UK retailers recalling dry cat food over a potential link to an outbreak of a rare and fatal disease in cats. It follows more than 130 cases of feline pancytopenia, an illness that can often be fatal in cats, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
Pancytopenia is a rare condition where the number of blood cells (red, white and platelets) rapidly decrease, causing serious illness. The FSA said the current outbreak of pancytopenia was potentially linked to specific cat food products.
A Government spokesman said that there is no evidence to suggest this outbreak of feline pancytopenia presents any risk to human health, according to British media reports.
