Breadfarm: Sirius Dog Treats Recalled for Potential Metal Fragment Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 7, 2012

Summary

Approximately 144 packages of Sirius Dog Treats (bone-shaped treats) are being recalled because the wheat germ used to manufacture the treats may contain metal fragments. The metal pieces are approximately 0.5mm in diameter and range from 3mm to 15mm in length. These treats were sold exclusively through Breadfarm's retail location in Bow, Washington. Consumers who purchased these packages should immediately stop using them and return the treats to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The treats may contain sharp metal fragments that could cause internal injury, choking, or dental damage if ingested by a pet. While the contamination occurred at the raw ingredient manufacturer, the firm is voluntarily recalling the finished treats to prevent harm to animals.
