Pet Food Recall Tracker — Real-Time FDA Alerts
The FDA recalls pet food multiple times per year for Salmonella contamination, foreign material, nutritional deficiencies, and mislabeling. Most pet owners never hear about these recalls until days or weeks after they're issued — by which time their pets may have already consumed the affected product.
Why pet food recalls are serious
Pet food contamination can cause illness in pets — and in humans who handle the food. Salmonella in pet food is a known pathway for human illness, particularly for children and immunocompromised individuals who may touch the food or pets that have consumed it. The FDA tracks both pet and human illness linked to pet food contamination.
Common pet food recall reasons
The most frequent reasons for pet food recalls include Salmonella contamination, elevated levels of vitamins or minerals (particularly Vitamin D toxicity in dogs), pentobarbital contamination in rendered meat products, foreign material (plastic, metal), and mislabeling of ingredients or nutritional content.
