The Best By Date is found on the middle top of the back of each bag. This expanded voluntary recall is being issued due to some of the product lots testing positive for Salmonella through random and targeted sampling of finished product, including by the firm and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture
As of November 1, 2023, seven people reported Salmonella infections.
Retailers and distributors should immediately pull all product from their inventory and shelves and destroy product. Do not sell or donate the recalled products.
Do not feed the recalled product to pets or any other animals. Destroy the food in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access. Wash and sanitize pet food bowls, cups, and storage containers. Always ensure that you wash and sanitize your hands after handling recalled food or any utensils that come in contact with recalled food.
Contact Mid America Pet Food Consumer Affairs at 1-888-428-7544 from 8 AM to 11 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) seven days a week for additional information.
This is a voluntary recall being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Added after publishing: The FDA has also issued a consumer warning “FDA and CDC Investigate Cases of Salmonella Linked to Pet Food Made by Mid America Pet Food; Multiple Brands Recalled” we assume linked to seven human illnesses (thus far) linked to this pet food. To read, click here.

I’m sorry – how do humans get sick from this shtuff? I can’t imagine eating it myself. I can’t imagine not washing my hands afterward handling this stuff. It smells terrible. It must be really potent if people are getting sick from it. And “They” blame raw food for getting people sick? Come on now!

I think the FDA is almost to blame for humans getting sick from dry foods. They ONLY warn consumers about the risk of raw pet food, never warning pet owners of the Salmonella risk of dry pet food – which could easily result in people being complacent when handling dry food. The attitude of ‘I only need to worry if I feed raw’ was caused by FDA.

If you call they will escalate it to start that proses. I just did it and it took about 15 min. Then someone is spoused to e-mail you to e-mail docs and what ever else they need.

My 11 month old shiba inu puppy died on October 18th after getting sick on October 14th from eating tainted Victor dog food. I just learned about the recall today, and the previous class action lawsuit against the bastards at Mid America Pet Foods. Money isn’t going to bring my beloved puppy back.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Please make sure your story isn’t lost in the sea of recalls and PR puff-pieces that Mid America is going to try and spin. Fight for your puppy’s memory.

You can return it directly to wherever you purchased it from for a full refund. Mid America Pet Food has made sure all distributors are offering full credits on store returns as long as the bags are destroyed afterward.
