Fromm Family Foods recalled roughly 5,800 cases of two wet dog food products sold across the U.S. and Canada after complaints of metal contamination, according to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
The recall covers 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. The affected Turkey Pâté comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006. The Milo's Meatloaf Pâté is in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029. Both products have a best-by date of March 2029.
No illnesses or injuries tied to the products have been reported. The company said symptoms can include choking and vomiting, along with loss of appetite, lethargy and stomach discomfort. Sharp pieces of metal can cause cuts to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Larger amounts could lead to partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.
Fromm said it identified the error behind the recall and has taken corrective action to prevent it from happening again. The company did not provide further details about the source of the potential contamination.
