Fromm Recalls 5,800 Cases of Wet Dog Food Over Metal Risk on August 25

Fromm Family Foods is recalling 5,800 cases of canned wet dog food sold across the U.S. and Canada due to potential metal contamination. The recall covers 3,852 cases of Turkey Pâté and 1,973 cases of Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté, both with best-by dates of March 2029. No illnesses have been reported, but ingesting metal can cause choking, vomiting, and intestinal obstruction in dogs.

What products are affected

The recall includes two Fromm wet dog food products sold at neighborhood pet stores and online retailers. Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006. Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029. Both have a best-by date of March 2029. The canned food costs $3 to $5 per can, or up to $52 per case for 12 cans.

Health risks from metal contamination

Metal fragments in dog food can cause serious injury. Sharp pieces can cut the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, while larger amounts may cause partial blockage or intestinal obstruction. Symptoms include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, and stomach discomfort. Dogs showing these signs after consuming the recalled product should be taken to a veterinarian immediately.

Company response and distribution

Wisconsin-based Fromm Family Foods received complaints of metal contamination and initiated the recall on August 21. The company said it identified the error and implemented corrective actions to prevent recurrence but did not disclose the contamination source. The recalled products were distributed through neighborhood pet stores and online outlets across North America. No other Fromm products are affected, and no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.

What pet owners should do

Dog owners should stop feeding the recalled products immediately and return the cans to the retailer where they were purchased. Consumers can contact Fromm at 1-800-325-6331 or [email protected] with questions. Pet owners whose dogs show symptoms after consuming the product should contact a veterinarian for care.

Final Thoughts

Pet owners should check their pantries for the recalled Fromm products and stop feeding them to their dogs immediately. Return any affected cans to the retailer. Contact a veterinarian if your dog shows choking, vomiting, or stomach discomfort.
