This week, Fromm Family Foods, a Wisconsin-based company, recalled 300 cases of its gently cooked frozen dog food called Bonnihill Farms BeefiBowls. The recall was issued due to potential plastic contamination, although there are currently no reports of dogs falling ill after consuming the food.
When dogs ingest plastic, it can lead to serious health issues, including gastrointestinal problems and potential blockages. Dog owners should be alert for symptoms like lethargy or a loss of appetite. The affected products were sold in multiple states, including Texas and California, and had a best-buy date of December 25, 2026.
In a statement, Fromm Family Foods acknowledged the error and emphasized that they are taking steps to enhance their safety processes. This isn’t the first recall of its kind; earlier this year, other pet food products were also pulled from shelves due to contamination concerns.
According to a recent survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, 67% of U.S. households own a pet, and consumer awareness around product safety is at an all-time high. The rise in recalls reflects not just an increase in manufacturing transparency but also the need for vigilance among pet owners.
For pet owners, familiarizing themselves with product recalls can be vital. Websites like the FDA’s recall page offer up-to-date information. Staying informed can help ensure your furry friends remain safe and healthy.
