Dog Food Recalled Across US and Canada After Complaints of Metal Contamination

 Dog Food Recalled Across US and Canada After Complaints of Metal Contamination

If you've recently stocked up on canned dog food, you'll want to check your pantry before dinnertime. Fromm Family Foods, a Wisconsin-based pet food manufacturer, has issued a voluntary recall of nearly **5,800 cases** of wet dog food after receiving complaints of metal contamination.

The recall, announced on August 21, 2026, affects two popular pâté-style canned dog foods that were distributed to neighborhood pet stores and online retailers throughout the United States and Canada. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, the potential presence of metal fragments — particularly sharp pieces — poses serious health risks to dogs.
