Evanger's Dog & Cat Food Co. Responds to FDA News Release

WHEELING, Ill., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- As a result of a routine
inspection of the Evanger's Dog & Cat Food Company manufacturing facilities by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA recently raised questions
regarding record keeping and other issues at the pet food producer's
facilities.
Contrary to a news release issued by the FDA Thursday, April 24, 2008,
Evanger's continues to make and distribute its products with FDA approval.
Evanger's is working closely with the FDA and already has addressed many of
the FDA's questions. Evanger's expects to have the few remaining FDA queries
fully satisfied shortly.

any Evanger's product is under-processed, unsafe, or contaminated in any way.

quality and safety of its pet foods very seriously," said Holly Sher,
president of Evanger's. "Evanger's has a long history of using only human-
grade ingredients in our products. The FDA has not called into question the
wholesomeness of any ingredient we use. We are confident Evanger's products
continue to be safe, wholesome and natural, so confident that we continue to
feed them daily to our own pets."
All ingredients in Evanger's products are sourced in the United States and
all manufacturing is done in its suburban Chicago facility. The routine FDA
inspection was related only to Evanger's canned foods and did not cover
production its dry pet food products.
