Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nestle Purina PetCare Company has recalled approximately 946,325 units of various Beneful and Pro Plan Savory Meals wet dog foods because they may contain lower levels of vitamins and minerals than the label indicates. The recall affects 10 oz. plastic tubs, including several varieties of Beneful Prepared Meals, Beneful Chopped Blends, and Pro Plan Savory Meals, as well as specific variety packs. These products were sold nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Ontario, Canada, with "Best Buy" dates ranging from June 2017 to August 2017. Owners should return the affected products to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The affected pet food does not meet the nutritional levels claimed on the packaging, which could lead to nutritional deficiencies if fed as a primary diet over an extended period. While no illnesses have been reported, a diet lacking essential vitamins and minerals can impact a dog's long-term health and wellness.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your dog food packaging for 10 oz. plastic tubs of Beneful Prepared Meals, Beneful Chopped Blends, or Pro Plan Savory Meals with 'Best Buy' dates between June 2017 and August 2017.
  2. Verify the UPC barcodes on your product against the affected list, which includes Beneful codes like 17800-10963, 17800-10964, 17800-12861, 17800-10965, and Pro Plan codes like 38100-16148 or 38100-16147.
  3. Locate the production code on the packaging and check if it falls within the range of 5363 to 6054.
  4. Immediately stop feeding the affected wet food to your pet if the identifiers match.
  5. Return the product to the retail store where it was purchased for a full refund or contact Nestle Purina PetCare Co directly for further instructions.
  6. Contact your veterinarian if your pet has consumed this product and you have concerns about their nutritional health or if they are showing signs of illness.
  7. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your state or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
