Cat owners, check your cat food. Nutro Products has issued a voluntary recall on dry cat foods sold in the U.S. and 10 other countries with "best if used by dates" between May 12, 2010 and Aug. 22, 2010, reports My Fox New York.

Though there have been no complaints thus far, the company became aware of a production error by its U.S.-based premix supplier that resulted in incorrect zinc and potassium levels in the dry cat food. Dog food, wet cat and dog food, and treats are not included in the recall.

If you have any of the recalled products, you're urged to return it to the retailer.

Nutro Products is recalling some of its dry cat food.

The voluntary recall includes several varieties of Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care and Nutro Max dry cat foods with "best If used by" dates between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. It does not include canned cat food or any Nutro dog food.

The cat foods were distributed to stores in all 50 states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

Nutro Products, one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the U.S., announced the recall on Thursday after finding a mistake made by its U.S. supplier of mineral premixes. Apparently, two premix batches didn't have enough potassium, and one of those batches had too much zinc.

If you're using one of the recalled products, Nutro advises you stop immediately. While the company says it hasn't received any complaints, it asks that cat owners monitor their cats for symptoms including loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting or diarrhea.

Unused dry food portions may be returned to your retailer for a full refund or exchange.
