Hey,
Pet food recall is done for the well-being of pets. It is a formation of list by
the name Pet food recall which is been conducted by either the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) which can conduct it on request or order under statuary authority,
or can be requested by the company who is into food production to check its
quality. Pet food recall is a list which determines the foods that are not good
for the health of pets and thus are taken out from the market.
This
recall exercise takes place on several types of pet foods like pet foods for
cats, dogs, birds, ferrets, fishes and rats.
A

For
the detailed list you can always go to the FDA website.
Now
coming up to class 1 definition of
recall, it is a situation where there is a probability that the use of, or
exposure to, a volatile product will cause a serious effect on health of the
pet.
The
class 2 definition states that the
use of product might produce a temporary or medically reversible health
consequence over the pet.
I hope it solves
the purpose.
