two/3 months ago i purchased a case of eagle pack canned food and one of the cans had botulism. i called the company and they immediately responded--sent me a coupon for a whole case, paid me to send back the can and contents if i still had them(i did-in the refrig) . I had been preoccupied and opened the can and the smell-peeyuuuu! adn then saw bottom of can had popped. they wanted the original contents and can to trace the shipment to figure out what happened. actually what i later realized probably happened was that particular can was not part of the purchased case but among the loose freebies given me by a store owner from her sales rep--so it was probably older. my cats still eat the chicken and lamb cans. so still sounds like a responsible company to me... barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faye Lewis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <felvtalk@vlists.net> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 7:47 PM Subject: Wellness and Eagle Pack
