Where was the food distributed?

Why is the food being recalled?

As we already mentioned, the contaminated food has elevated vitamin D content. There are 5.500 recalled cans, and the company is working on getting all of them back.  The higher vitamin D ingestion can cause all sorts of health problems for the dogs eating that food. Here’s what the company published in their official letter;

“Potential adverse reactions could occur in all size dogs.  No reports of illness or injury have been reported from consumers to date, however, Fromm management has determined it is prudent to pull these four lots out of distribution.

Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs, including renal dysfunction. Consumers who have dogs that have consumed any of the affected products and are exhibiting these symptoms should contact their veterinarian.”

As you can see, potential adverse reactions can be very severe. Make sure you check the packaging of the food. Another helpful thing you can check on the contaminated cans is the best-by-date notice. On the recalled one is Best By Date 08/2024.
