Thank you for reaching out. We are very sorry to hear you had this experience with Purina Friskies Pate Wet Cat Food, Mainline Favorite Variety Pack. It’s certainly not typical. We’re pet owners and pet lovers too, and the foods we make for your pets are the same foods we feed ours. Safety and quality are our top priorities. We'd like to learn more and lend a helping hand. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 1-800-778-8864. We are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CST) Monday through Saturday. We look forward to speaking with you. – The Friskies Team
