Recalls

Purina Wet Dog Food 10-oz. Tub Voluntary Recall

Purina pet food recall

From the Purina website:

We’re pet owners and pet lovers, too. For that reason, when we discovered through our own internal quality tests that some of our 10-oz. wet dog food tubs may not contain the recommended level of added vitamins and minerals, we took action and voluntarily recalled the product at retail.

This includes select wet dog food 10-oz. tubs under the Beneful Prepared Meals, Beneful Chopped Blends and Pro Plan Savory Meals brands. See a full list of included products by “Best Before” date and production code ranges here.

Although most of the recalled product contains all of the vitamins and minerals your dog needs, we recommend that you discard any of the affected product you may have, and we’ll issue you a refund.

We’re here to ensure you have the best possible consumer experience, so call us at 1-800-877-7919 with any questions you may have or to request a refund. We know your pet is important to you, and they’re important to us, too.

    Aren’t they following a recipe? The recipe should tell them how much synthetic vitamins and minerals should be added to their meals. Most of the world supply of synthetic vitamins and minerals come from China. Why would anyone want to buy these products again?

    At first, I didn’t think about this recall too much. However, now I have to wonder how they claim their food is deficient. As someone just pointed out, they should be following a recipe.

    It’s not just “pet food” that’s manufactured in shared facilities. Do some digging and you will find that foods from snacks to soup are produced in plants that churn out several brand names.
