Pedigree Recalls Dog Food Because Feeding Fido Metal Fragments Isn’t A Good Idea
Pedigree recalled a number of bags of its adult dog food because of possible metal fragments.
If you live in the south and you’re getting ready to scoop out a heaping serving of Pedigree for your adult canine, you may want to double-check the package. The dog food maker is recalling certain bags of dry food that may contain not-so-tasty pieces of metal.
Pedigree announced that it voluntarily recalled 22 bags of Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition dry dog food because the contents may include metal fragments. While the metal pieces are not embedded in the dog food itself, they can pose an injury risk if consumed.
The recall only affects the 15 pound bags sold at Dollar General Stores in Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana.
Consumers should check the back of their Pedigree dog food bags for this product number.
Each bag will have the lot code 432C1KKM03 printed on the bag near the UPC and a Best Before date of 8/5/15.
“At Mars Petcare, we take our responsibility to pets and their owners seriously. We sincerely apologize for this situation,” officials with the company say in a news release.
Consumers are encouraged to reach out to Pedigree at 1-800-305-5206 with questions.
