HBH Pet Products is recalling certain fish food for pets that were found to contain melamine. We spoke to a representative at HBH Pet Products today and he said that the recall went up on Monday. Aquabond, which was found to have contained melamine and related compounds, was used in these products. A contracted manufacturer for HBH Pet Products alerted them of the contamination. The representative said Aquabond was added without their knowledge or approval. HBH Pet Products is currently doing their own testing of their other pet food.

Here is the list of recalled fish food:

Crab and Lobster Bites 1.3oz
Goldfish Bites 1.5oz
Goldfish Nibblets 4.3oz
Goldfish Nibblets 8.0oz
Goldfish Nibblets 32oz
