Sportmix Recall Expanded Following the Death of 70+ Dogs

Following the death of more than 70 dogs and the illness of 80 others, Midwestern Pet Foods Inc has expanded the recall of its Sportmix pet food products.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday advised about the potentially fatal levels of aflatoxins in Midwestern pet food products that may still be on store shelves, online, or in pet owners’ homes.

Aflatoxin is produced by the mold Aspergillus flavus, which grows on grains such as corn that are used in pet foods. High levels of aflatoxin can cause pets to become ill or die.

The recall was initially made voluntarily by Midwestern Pet Foods on Dec. 30 and has since been expanded to include all pet food containing corn, manufactured in the company’s Oklahoma plant and having an expiration date on or before July 9, 2022.

Consumers are advised not to feed the recalled pet foods to their own pets or to other animals.

According to the FDA, the products should be destroyed in such a way that children, pets, and wildlife are not able to access them.

Bowls, cups, and storage containers that have come in contact with the products affected by the pet food recall should be washed and sanitized.

The FDA advises retailers and distributors to pull the recalled lots from shelves and not to sell or donate the products involved in the Sportmix pet food recall.

Retailers also are encouraged to reach out to consumers who bought the products if they have the information available to do so.

Consumers who notice these symptoms in their pets should contact their veterinarian immediately.

For questions related to the Sportmix pet food recall, contact Midwestern Pet Foods Consumer Affairs at 800-474-4163, extension 455, between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday, or via email at info@midwesternpetfoods.com.
