News Release

********************

Toronto - Effem Inc. Canada brands, including PEDIGREE(R)and CESAR(R) food for dogs, and WHISKAS(R), SHEBA(R) and TEMPTATIONS(R) food for cats, are safe for pets to enjoy.

None of our brands were involved in the recall or subsequent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation. According to the FDA, pet owners should feel confident feeding unrecalled products to their pets.

Menu Foods does not make any of Effem Inc. Canada's dry or wet pet food brands and there is no melamine in Effem Inc. Canada's wet or dry brands.

As pet lovers, the safety and nutritional quality of our pet food is our top priority. Effem Inc. is deeply saddened by this unfortunate situation.
