Several Dog Food Brands Recalled Due to Potential Mold Contamination
Multiple brands of dog food are being recalled due to concerns that the products could be contaminated with mold.
Sunshine Mills, Inc. is issuing a voluntary recall of select Triumph, Evolve, Wild Harvest, Nurture Farms, Heart to Tail Pure Being, and Elm Pet Foods products due to potentially elevated levels of Aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus and can be harmful to pets when consumed.
No illnesses have been reported in association with the recalled products yet, but pets that consume Aflatoxin may show symptoms like sluggishness, lethargy, a reluctance to eat, vomiting, a yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, or diarrhea. Any pet exhibiting these symptoms should be seen by a veterinarian.
The products affected by this recall were distributed in retail stores nationally, and retailers have been instructed to pull them from their shelves. A complete list of the affected products can be seen here. Consumers who have purchased any of these products should stop using them and return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact Sunshine Mills, Inc. customer service at (800) 705-2111 from 7AM to 4PM Central Time, Monday through Friday, or by email at customer.service@sunshinemills.com.
