Retailers have been accused of doing too little to warn customers about recalled cat food that has been linked to the deaths of potentially thousands of pets, prompting concern that some remains on sale in shops. As more details emerged of the scandal, cat owners spoke of their distress at watching their pets suffer and die. Several cat owners also shared photographs of Sainsbury’s cat food aisles in which signage alerting customers to the product recall did not appear to be prominently displayed, if at all. Emails shared with the Guardian show that the supermarket answered that it did not believe its cat food was responsible. But both questioned why the online retailer has not published an alert on the cat food section of the site, to raise awareness among any cat owners looking to restock.
