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 recall says the lot was produced in Mount Pleasant, Texas. The five-pound bags covered under the recall were marked with a lot code of 1000016385 and a best-by date of April 30, 2024.
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.Â
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.

It made me sick to my stomach! Please add
I brought victor’s for over a years. Just recently My dog passes away.
Hi, my dog became very sick from the food i purchased in august and was having side effects for a long time. We finally took him to the vet beginning of November and we had no idea it was because of the food. Once he was better we re introduced the food again and he became even sicker. Had to stay at the emergency vet all weekend and just now with all the treatment is getting back to normal.
My dog of 13.9 years just passed from the Victor food. Normal symptoms of blood in stool, lethargic, respiratory issues. So sadd.
My dog has been sick for weeks….
I’m in Arizona. My dog became very sick and had bloody diarrhea for more than 2 weeks, caused by Victor dog food I bought through Chewy. I’ve called and emailed many times with no response. I’ve sent my vet bill and they are not paying me back.
My German Shepherd was throwing up too often and became lethargic. He couldn’t hold his bowels, and was so constipated. He kept fallinf over and we had to carry him inside and out. He weighs 85 lbs. The Retriever brand dog foods are contaminated too! and you ccan get a refund back. Can’t afford the vets around here for medical help but have nurtured him with chicken broth, chicken soup and roasted chiken fed in Small portions until he passes his bowels. Such a stressful 12 days!!! Would like to start a class action lawsuit for the Stte of Maine Thanks
My girl was severely ill on NOV 8th could not walk without losing her bowels. From consuming Victor Hi- Pro Plus. Myself and my son were also sick. Berlin is not 100% still and was just at the vet last week and has another apt on the 21st because she is not putting weight back on. We are over 500$ in vet bills
