Blech, that’s gross. Seems like it came from chewy shipping packaging or maybe from Sheba’s end (warehouse? idk how long they store things) since they were all sealed.Dates were current, meaning expiration was well in the future, and the lids appeared to be sealed.
They very easily could have people working there with a first grade education. Often these wear houses are minimum wage positions and sometimes immigrants who barely understand English are employed as packers. I mean no offense to anyone who works as a packer or immigrants.Thanks so much for explaining all that. The Sheba is the favorite of a TNRed cat who lives at some apartments in the area; I feed her twice a day. She has turned her nose up at what I consider to be better food. The whole foil packaging (in that particular design) makes me nervous. Previous to this, I was in a large chain market and came across an employee removing all the Sheba that was puffed up after someone had brought it to their attention.
I have received lots of damaged Chewy packages from FedEx. It apparently is not anything that happens at the Chewy distribution centers unless they have first graders working there loading the orders.
I think Fed Ex assumes the package not marked fragile is cushioned/tough enough to be handled roughly. They are going to be tossing boxes quickly, stacking boxing with 50lb of litter on top of boxes with 50 packs of sheba. Blame fed ex for being rough, chewy for not padding fragile items. Either way, it's something that comes up on occasion when you order from large companies like chewy, amazon, walmart.Thanks so much for explaining all that.

Not sure if you still need them but you can buy silicone can lids on amazon! The ones I got can fit 3 common sizes of lids and are dishwashable.I miss the days when you could buy Sheba in cans, like Fancy Feast. Canned cat food I believe is much safer than food sold in those plastic and foil containers. Does anyone know why Sheba stopped selling their product in cans? I loved the reusable lids they would include in the boxes. I kept a lot of those reusable plastic lids. When they stopped selling their product in cans, I wish that I would have kept all of those nice lids. The lids fit on Fancy Feast cans as well!
Great idea!! ThanksNot sure if you still need them but you can buy silicone can lids on amazon! The ones I got can fit 3 common sizes of lids and are dishwashable.
You can get then plastic reusable lids that fit both small and large for $6 on amazon, you can also get a 3 pack and most dollar stores, its a very common product....Does anyone know why Sheba stopped selling their product in cans?

As for the discontinued sheba cans [rant]... Plastic cups are cheaper to make, the twin pack contains less food (2.6oz), and people pay more for them. Grocery store brands like Sheba are marketed to people who don't look at labels, two portion for 80¢ looks better than one can for 70¢. It's more money for Mars inc. Twelve years ago Id only buy 13oz cans, tiny 3oz seemed like a total rip off, now I think of 5.5oz cans are the largest size you see in grocery stores and not many of them.
