There's a Huge Dog-Food Recall Due to Salmonella Risk to Pets and People
Midwestern Pet Foods issued a massive dog-food recall due to possible salmonella contamination, which can cause bacterial infections in both pets and their owners. The recall affects 140 specific lots of dry dog and cat food products from five parent brands, including several different sub-brands, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The company initiated the voluntary pet food recall on March 26 after routine sample testing conducted at a Monmouth, Illinois, manufacturing plant indicated that the affected products could contain salmonella bacteria. (In December 2020, Midwestern issued an unrelated dog-food recall on products made at its Oklahoma plant due to potential aflatoxin contamination; more than 110 deaths and 210 cases of illness in pets were reported to the FDA as of January 21.)
The brands included in the recall are Sportstrail, Sportmix (including their Wholesomes and CanineX sub-brands), Pro Pac (including Pro Pac Ultimates), Meridian, and Earthborn Holistic (including their Unrefined and Venture sub-brands). The recall includes lots with certain expiration dates from a number of product lines for puppies and adult dogs of various breed sizes, including a wide variety of flavors and bag sizes. Five of the 140 recalled lots involve cat food products.
To find out if you need to take action, consult the FDA's full list of recalled products, including the specific bag sizes, expiration dates, and lot numbers to check for, as well as images of the packaging. All of the lot numbers will contain the letter “M,” which signifies they were produced at the Monmouth facility.
