110 deaths is nuts. This recall hits a bit close to home since my friend used to feed ProPac all the time. It hasn't been too terribly long since she switched. May have done so just in time.

Two weeks ago, I alerted you to a recall of Performance Dog, a raw pet food made by a company called Bravo Packing, Inc. And now? That recall is being expanded to include every single pet food and bone made by this company, because of potential contamination or cross-contamination with salmonella and listeria (dangerous bacteria).

I have lots of information I've written at the link below, including why all packages are affected rather than just certain ones.

Get the full details on this recall at the following link:

NB:  Be aware that Bravo and Performance are used by other companies.

(( This is the same company that had a recall for aflatoxin in January // Note there are over three pages of recalled items!))

A popular line of dog treats — Zuke's Mini Naturals — has just been removed in its entirety from store shelves ... all sizes and all flavors.

The company says it's merely a quality control issue and that this is not a recall. But customers are reporting dogs sickened by mold in the treats. That's not minor.

The massively popular Pup-Peroni dog treat line is apparently facing its first recall (involving one specific flavor).
For several months now, customers have been posting photos of moldy Pup-Peroni treats — and now at least one flavor, Original Beef, is being recalled.

I was unable to contact Big Heart Pet for details before their offices closed for the weekend, but I verified the news through an announcement on a grocery store chain’s website. 

As far as I know, only the Original Beef Flavor is part of the recall. You can get full details at the link below, as well as some of the photos of moldy treats that customers have posted this year:

Nothing on the FDA site as of yet.

Petful sent out this recall this morning and apparently he'd been enjoying a bit too much of the Maker's Mark product line.

which was followed up shortly by a correction:

Good morning. I apologize for resending this, but it corrects the brand name that is involved in the recall. The name of the affected treats is Member's Mark.

(Not Maker's Mark, which is, well, something entirely different and not for dogs at all.) —Dave

All recalls should be as amusing as this one was. //al
