Not true. Yes, the big pet food recall in 2007 resulted in many cat deaths, but there have been numerous problems and recalls with kibble over the years for everything from too much vitamin D, to mold toxins to salmonella to nutrient deficiencies. But even without official recalls, hands down
dry food kills more cats on a daily basis than canned food could ever come close to. Number one cause of blocked urinary tracts is kibble. Number one cause of diabetes is kibble. Number one cause of inflammatory bowel disease is kibble. Number one cause of allergies is kibble. Kidney failure? Kibble. DRY FOOD KILLS CATS!

Absolutely. But barring that, there are things to look for in a canned food that make some better than others. Good info here on how to choose a decent product (and it's also important to rotate brands/flavours so that you mitigate the risk should there ever be a problem with one of them):
