Ark Naturals Dog Dental Chews Recalled for Potential Mold

Agency Publication Date: May 24, 2023

Summary

Ark Naturals Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 35,082 cartons of various dog dental chews, including Brushless Toothpaste and No Brush Toothpaste products. These products are being recalled because they may contain mold, which can be seen on the surface of the chews. The recall affects multiple sizes (Mini, Small, Medium, and Large) distributed across 33 U.S. states and Canada. No specific injuries or animal illnesses have been reported to date, but the firm initiated the recall after discovering the potential for mold growth.
