Summary

Sunshine Mills, Inc. is recalling approximately 6,245 bags of various dog food brands, including Wild Harvest, Triumph, Nuture Farms, Elm Naturals, Evolve, and Heart to Tail, because they may contain elevated levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a byproduct of mold that can grow on corn and other grains used in pet food, which can be harmful to pets if consumed in large quantities. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date, but consumers should stop using these products immediately and return them for a refund.

Risk

Aflatoxin is a toxin that can cause illness and liver damage in pets; symptoms include sluggishness, vomiting, loss of appetite, or a yellowish tint to the eyes or gums. While no illnesses have been reported, the levels found in these specific batches exceed safety thresholds.
