Nestle Purina dog food recall overview:
- Who: Nestle Purina PetCare Company has recalled some of its Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Low Fat prescription wet dog food.
- Why: The cans may contain a different dog food product.
- Where: The Nestle Purina dog food recall is active in the United States.
Nestle Purina PetCare Company has recalled some of its prescription wet dog food as the cans were incorrectly packaged with a different product.
In a recall posted Dec. 2 on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website, Nestle announced it was recalling cans of its Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Low Fat prescription wet dog food in 13.4 oz cans.
“For a brief period on September 15, 2022, cans of a different complete and balanced adult dog food, Purina ONE True Instinct Tender Cuts In Gravy With Real Turkey & Venison wet dog food, were labeled as PPVD EN Low Fat in one of our factories,” the company said.
“The mislabeled diet is safe to feed, but it is not the intended formula for dogs requiring a prescription PPVD EN Low Fat diet, who may have sensitivities to traditional diets or difficulty digesting fat.”
Nestle alerted to recall issue by pet owners
Nestle says it became aware of the issue after being contacted by several pet owners who observed the texture of food in their PPVD EN Low Fat cans was not the same as previous meals.
The mislabeled product contains chunks in gravy, while the correct product looks more like a pate consistency, the company said.
“While we have not received any reports to date of illness or injury to dogs fed this mislabeled product, we are conducting this voluntary recall as a precaution,” it said.
The affected product was available by prescription only and distributed through veterinary clinics and other retailers with the ability to validate a prescription.
“We have asked our veterinary and other retail partners to remove the affected product. We also recommend that you discard any of the affected product you may have, and we will replace it as quickly as possible,” Nestle said.
The recalled dog food has the UPC (38100 17599), production code (22581159 L4TR6) and “Best Before Sept 2024” date on the bottom of each PPVD EN Low Fat can.
No other Purina products are impacted by the recall. The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.
Meanwhile, Nestle Purina Petcare Co. has been hit with a class action lawsuit alleging it misrepresented some of its limited-ingredient dog food as grain free and soy free.
