Mid America Pet Food is recalling 644 cases of its Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Hi-Pro Plus after the company determined that the food could have been exposed to salmonella.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that the recall was in response to a single sample of the food testing positive for salmonella during testing by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
Pet owners are asked to destroy food involved in dog food recall and sanitize hands after touching it
Mid America Pet Food says it has not received any reports of illness related to the recall so far. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
Those who have the affected pet food are asked to destroy the food in such a way that animals and humans cannot access it. Pet owners are then asked to sanitize bowls and storage containers used with the food and both wash and sanitize hands that could have touched the impacted food, according to the Victor dog food recall.
Consumers with questions about the voluntary recall can reach Mid America Pet Food Consumer Affairs at info@mapf.com or 1-888-428-7544 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday.
Midwestern Pet Foods agreed to pay $6.375 million earlier this year to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it sold pet food with dangerous levels of aflatoxin and salmonella contamination.

I have been feeding my dog this food for about 1 year now and came home one day to find her super sick she has major diarrhea mixed with blood and has been so sick saw the recall and stopped giving her the food she is still really sick and is going to need expensive medical care how can I be added to this
I have 2 big dogs they go through these bags pretty quickly and I was not notified about the food being contaminated till bout 2 weeks ago I was wondering why my dogs had bloody diarrhea and now I know why my dogs have been sick for over a month. I have a friend that runs his own at home animal care but ive spent over 500 trying to figure out whats wrong with them and how to make them better still no luck.
i fed my dog this food for about a year with the intentions that it was the best choice for my dog i then start noticing her #2 was dark black and it was uncomfortable for her to go and she would strain herself, i even found a piece of foreign object in the bottom of the bag that i still have.
According to Chewy there were 2 earlier recalls, September and October ( no notifications or mention anywhere). Chewy notified us, via email, on Saturday November 11,2023. I was at our vet on Tuesday 11/14 , scrolling through emails and saw Chewys email about the entire Victor product line being recalled.
Our girl, Emmie 5yr old mini schnauzer , suffered hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The amount of blood loss was like a crime scene!! She was hospitalized for 4 days and almost died… the vet bill was close to $3,000.
It’s unacceptable that Victor allowed this to happen !!
We started buying Victor dog food for our two dogs about 8 months ago when we bought our puppy from a breeder, that’s what they fed their dogs. Our puppy had a problem with diarrhea for a while and had to be treated at the vet. Since the recall and switching to something else, he acts much better! Please add me.
I fed my two dogs Victor products the last few years and we were impacted by the recall. One of my dogs is still sick three weeks later with $300+ in vet bills already. Chewy refunded and told me to reach out to Victor directly to address the vet bills. Their only response was “thanks for the feedback”. What a terrible company. Please add me.
Add me to this. My dog was fed this food. We were reimbursed by Chewy but that’s not enough.
Three weeks of our dog being ill with vomiting and projectile diarrhea and almost $500 in vet bills due to this food. Chewy reimbursed the cost of the food but who is going to help with vet bills and many nights of lost sleep for us and our dog?
My 28 days dogs have been effected including me they have been using victor dog food for 3 years and it’s causing me a heap of trouble especially with my breeding dogs. The hell I’ve been put through I can even explain with the vomiting and diarrhea. With this many dogs.
