Natural Instinct is recalling its Wild Venison (Natural Cat Food) because some of the ingredients were not inspected in line with EU requirements. The absence of inspection means the safety of the product cannot be confirmed and may therefore carry a potential risk.
On the Foods Standards Agency website it states that the food recall is Northern Ireland and Wales specific.
