As far as I can see, this only applies to cans and pouches.
If anyone hears anything about dry kibble, let us know.

Companies do seem to be updating their websites frequently so if you have questions regarding pet foods that you are currently feeding. I would check the pet food company website for any food you have on hand.

Re:Canned cat and dog food recall-NEW RECALL 4/25/ - 2007/04/26 06:29
Precautionary Rice Protein Recall: Drs. Foster & Smith Adult Dry Lite Dog and Adult Dry Lite Cat Food
Rice protein concentrate has been indicated as a possible source of melamine recently found in pet food products. As a precautionary measure Wilbur-Ellis company, the supplier of rice protein concentrate, is voluntarily recalling all lots of rice protein concentrate. We received notification from the manufacturer today, April 25, 2007, suggesting we issue a precautionary recall.
Two of our products: Adult Lite Dry Dog (Item #'s 14178, 14179, 14180, 14262, 14263) and Adult Lite Dry Cat foods (Item #'s 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865) contain rice protein concentrate. Only the Adult Lite Dry Dog and Adult Lite Dry Cat foods contain rice protein concentrate.
Preliminary test results for melamine contamination have been negative. Final test results from the FDA are expected within two weeks. Please check the Adult Lite Dry Dog food or the Adult Lite Dry Cat food product pages on the DrsFosterSmith.com website for any updates.
If your pet has consumed either the Adult Lite Dry Dog food or the Adult Lite Dry Cat food and shows signs of illness (such as loss of appetite, lethargy and vomiting), you should consult with your veterinarian immediately.
As part of this precautionary recall Drs. Foster & Smith requests that customers discontinue feeding the following products purchased during the periods listed, until all FDA testing is complete:
Adult Lite Dry Dog food item numbers 14180, 14262, 14263, or Adult Lite Dry Cat food item numbers 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865 purchased between January 22, 2007 and April 19th
Adult Lite Dry Dog food item numbers 14178 and 14179 purchased between February 2, 2007 and April 19, 2007
Only Adult Lite Dry Dog (Item #'s 14178, 14179, 14180, 14262, 14263) and Adult Dry Lite Cat foods (Item #'s 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865) are included in this precautionary recall.
The health and well being of your pet is always important to us, so as part of this precautionary recall:
Drs. Foster & Smith is contacting all customers who have purchased these items during this period.
These products are being reformulated to eliminate rice protein concentrate. The new formulation should be available by mid-May.
Please call Customer Service at 1-800-239-7121 between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm CST or email CustomerService@DrsFosterSmith.com if you have questions.
None of our other Drs. Foster & Smith foods contain the ingredients in question.

by this issue.

NEW RECALL: More SmartPak Dry Dog Food Recalled May 4th, 2007
On May 2, SmartPak recalled all orders of LiveSmart Adult Lamb and Brown
Rice. This product tested positive for presence of melamine in a test
received on May 2. After their first recall of LiveSmart Weight
Management Chicken and Brown Rice, SmartPak sent all of their other dog
food for testing, and Adult Lamb and Brown Rice came back with positive
results.
SmartPak is saying that this is odd because this particular dog food
doesn't contain any rice protein concentrate, wheat gluten or any of the
other ingredients that are on FDA's import watch list. They are saying
it may be cross-contamination.

Re:More dry food Recalled - 2007/05/13 05:51
More Royal Canin recalled 5/11/07-Sensible choice and Kasco brands
ST. CHARLES, Mo., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Canin USA is announcing
today the voluntary nationwide recall of eight Sensible Choice dry dog food
products and seven Kasco dry dog and cat food products.
This announcement is based on the company's ongoing extensive review of
its manufacturing and quality assurance testing procedures, which
identified trace amounts of a melamine derivative from tainted Chinese rice
protein concentrate provided to the company by domestic ingredient supplier
Cereal Byproducts, headquartered in Illinois.
"We deeply regret the concern and anxiety this announcement today will
cause our loyal customers and the entire pet community," Olivier Amice,
President and CEO of Royal Canin USA, said. "While a very limited number of
Sensible Choice and Kasco products in this recall tested positive for trace
levels of a melamine derivative, Royal Canin USA is voluntarily withdrawing
these products out of an abundance of caution and because we are fully
committed to the welfare of our customers' pets."
Royal Canin USA has no confirmed cases of melamine related illness in
pets eating Sensible Choice and Kasco products affected by this recall.
Last month, Royal Canin USA announced it will no longer use any Chinese
vegetable protein suppliers.
The following eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products and seven
Kasco dry dog and cat food products with Best By date codes between July
28, 2006 to April 30, 2007 are being voluntarily recalled:
SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) (available in pet specialty stores nationwide)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Adult (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Reduced (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Lamb and Rice Reduced (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) Chicken and Rice Large Breed Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Adult (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Senior (Dry Dog Food)
-- SENSIBLE CHOICE(R) NATURAL BLEND Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
KASCO(R) (available in pet specialty stores nationwide)
-- KASCO(R) Chunks (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Hi Energy (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Maintenance (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Mealettes (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Mini Chunks (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Puppy (Dry Dog Food)
-- KASCO(R) Cat (Dry Cat Food)
Based on today's announcement, pet owners should stop feeding their
pets the eight Sensible Choice dry dog food products, seven Kasco dry dog
and dry cat food products listed. Pet owners should consult with a
veterinarian if they are concerned about the health of their pet.
The safety and nutritional quality of Royal Canin USA pet food is our
company's top priority because we understand that the health of pets comes
first. Pet owners who have questions about the voluntary recall of Sensible
Choice and Kasco dry pet food products and other Royal Canin USA products
should call 1-800-513-0041 or visit our web site at
http://www.royalcanin.us.
All Sensible Choice and Kasco products have a satisfaction guarantee
and the company will refund or replace the diets that are part of this
recall announcement.

The recalls only represent about 1% of all the foods out there according to the avma.
http://www.avma.org/aa/petfoodrecall/faq.asp
So while it is good to be aware of the recalls there are still plenty of choices.

NEW RECALL: Lick Your Chops Recalls Dry Cat Food May 17th, 2007
Lick Your Chops is recalling their Kitten and Cat dry food in the 4 lb.
and 18 lb. bags with a Best By date of 4/29/08, due to the possibility
this product may have been cross-contaminated.
The food doesn't contain any wheat gluten, corn gluten or rice protein
concentrate, but "it was produced around the same time there may have
been other products manufactured that contained rice gluten, even though
tests on these products did not indicate any presence of contamination".
-----------------------
NEW RECALL: Evolve Dry Kitten Food Recalled May 18th, 2007
Evolve is recalling their dry kitten food formula with the Best Used By
date of September 13, 2008.
Although no date is listed on the Evolve pet food recall page, we
believe this has been posted recently according to one of our tipsters.
FDA does not list Evolve food at all, just their Triumph canned food
brand (which was a part of a previous recall).
It's been added to our recall list. Unfortunately, it's been more than 2
months since the food was made.
Evolve's announcement says:
Evolve Kitten Food made on March 12, 2007 has
now been included in [the recalled pet food] group.
As of today, 99.4% of the 27,560 lbs. of product
made on March 12, 2007 (Best Used By Sep 13 08) has been accounted for
and removed from sale. Currently there is 168 lbs. that has not been
accounted for. The above 168 lbs. is a total of 9 units in 3# and 7#
sizes.

Dry Dog Food (Nutra Nuggets) Not On Recall List Test Positive For
Melamine
A central California vet is reporting that tests on a bag of Nutra
Nuggets-brand dog food purchased from Costco tested positive for
melamine. Nutra Nuggets is not on any current recall list. We are
working on getting more specifics from the vet. A recall has not yet
been issued.
Veterinarian Dr. Matt Humason says "We began
asking questions…we found the dogs all ate the same food from the same
store at the same time… so we sent a sample to get it tested and it
came back positive with melamine."
All four dogs ate Nutra Nuggets brand food.
A sample was sent to a lab at UC Davis and [the
pet owner's] fears were confirmed. "All I'm trying to get people to do
is notify the people and let them know we may have problem.
Unfortunately I feel Costco has been very hesitant to do that."
…
They're working with the distributor to track
down the specific batch number. A Costco representative tells KSEE 24
news once it's been tracked, they will immediately yank the product in
question.
