Earlier this week the FDA suspended Evanger’s emergency permit, meaning they cannot ship pet food in interstate commerce. Now Evangers is asking the FDA to reverse that decision.

“Our company has been working closely with the FDA and we have already addressed many of their questions,” says Joel Sher, Evanger’s vice president. “No Evanger’s product has been recalled, nor is there any indication that Evanger’s products are unsafe or contaminated in any way. Only our canned products have been affected by this action and, again, the FDA has not issued a recall, as some blogs have incorrectly stated.” The FDA’s cease-distribution order, according to Sher, appears to be based on a misunderstanding regarding paperwork updating Evanger processing protocols as submitted last year.
