(Reuters) - Procter & Gamble Co. said there was no melamine or wheat gluten in any Iams or Eukanuba dry pet foods on store shelves, a day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to its Iams pet food unit.

The company assured pet owners that Iams and Eukanuba dry foods are not manufactured by Menu Foods, which makes pet food under contract for national brands like P&G's Iams unit.

P&G Pet Care suspended production of all wet pet foods at the affected Menu Foods Emporia plant on March 14, the statement added.
