Mars Petcare U.S. has recalled 315 bags of Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition Grilled Steak & Vegetable Flavor dry dog food in the 44 lb (20 kg) size as they could contain loose metal pieces. The affected products have a best-by date of March 4, 2025, and lot code 410B2TXT02.
The company said in a press statement that this is a limited voluntary recall affecting only 315 bags of the product sold by Walmart in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. The best-by date and lot code can be found on the bottom seal at the back.
The company said the potential presence of loose metal pieces in the bags could pose a risk to pets. Those whose pets may have consumed the affected product should monitor it for unusual behaviour and contact a veterinarian in the event of any concern, it said. Use of the suspect bags should be stopped immediately, it said.
The company has asked consumers to contact consumer care at 1-800-525-5273 from 0800 AM to 0800 PM Central Standard Time Monday through Friday and 0800 AM to 0400 PM Saturday and Sunday or visit https://www.pedigree.com/update to initiate a return or with questions.
