Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hy-Vee Stores Inc. has recalled approximately 13,189 bags of various Hy-Vee brand dog foods, including Complete Nutrition and Bones & Squares varieties in multiple sizes. The recall was initiated because the products may contain elevated levels of aflatoxin, a toxin produced by certain molds that can grow on corn and other grains. Consumers who purchased these products at Hy-Vee retail stores should return them to any Hy-Vee location for a full refund.

Risk

Aflatoxin can be harmful to pets if consumed in significant quantities. Pets with aflatoxin poisoning may experience symptoms such as sluggishness, vomiting, yellowing of the eyes or gums (jaundice), and persistent diarrhea; in severe cases, it can lead to liver toxicity and death.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your dog food packaging for the following specific product names: Hy-Vee Complete Dog Complete Nutrition (34-lb, 8-lb, or 4.4-lb bags) or Hy-Vee Complete Dog Bones & Squares (20-lb or 4.4-lb bags).
  2. Verify the UPC and Lot Codes: Look for UPC codes 07545005647, 07545005667, 07545005665, 07545005680, or 07545005660. Check for Lot numbers ending in 29812KC, 29912KC, or 29312KC with Best By dates between 11/19/13 and 11/25/13.
  3. Stop feeding the recalled food to your pets immediately and securely dispose of it or store it out of reach of animals and children.
  4. Return the affected product to any Hy-Vee retail store for a full refund.
  5. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and exhibits symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, or yellowing of the eyes, contact your veterinarian immediately.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
