Further expansion of the recall and this time it's rice gluten and not wheat gluten. More here, and here.
Natural Balance has announced a recall for Venison and Brown Rice Treats for Dogs, Venison and Brown Rice Canned Formula for Dogs, Venison and Brown Rice Dry Food for Dogs, and Venison and Green Pea Dry Food for Cats.
Each of these was previously thought to be safe. Unfortunately that seems to now not be the case. First it was tainted wheat gluten and now it's tainted rice gluten. If your pet is eating any non-recalled food that contains either "wheat gluten" or "rice gluten" (possibly also called wheat protein concentrate or rice protein concentrate,) and is experiencing any abnormal symptoms, you might consider a trip to the vet. It's the grain glutens that are the link between these different recalls. Avoiding any of that would probably be smart. There's no telling how far this is going to go and right now.
Tip o' the hat to Chris for bringing this to my attention.
