Pet food and animal health recalls
Every dog and cat food, treat and animal drug recall the FDA has listed this year, with the lot codes, the hazard and what to do, from the agency’s own Animal and Veterinary recall list.
Last verified · refreshed weekly
The FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine publishes its own recall list for pet food, animal drugs and other products regulated for animals, separate from the human food list most recall trackers read. This page follows that list directly, newest first.
Salmonella and Listeria are the recurring hazards, most often in raw or freeze-dried food, which is not cooked and so keeps whatever bacteria the ingredients carried. A dog or cat that eats contaminated food can become ill, and a person handling the food or cleaning up after a sick pet can pick up the same infection, which is why the guidance below covers both the animal and the household.
Vitamin and mineral levels are the second pattern, mostly in milk replacers fed to puppies and kittens too young to nurse. Too little vitamin D risks rickets; too much risks the reverse. Neither shows up by looking at the product, which is why a recall is the only way most owners would know.
The identifiers matter as much as the brand name. A recall covers particular lots, not the whole product line, so the lot number and the best-by date on the row below are what actually decide whether the bag in your cupboard is included. What to do when your food is recalled covers the household side of a food recall, and the live recall index carries the newest across all four federal agencies.

What to do
- Check the lot number and best-by date on the bag against the row above. A recall covers particular lots, not the whole product line. fda.gov
- Stop feeding the product immediately if it matches, and do not donate or sell it. Wash bowls, scoops and storage containers that touched it.
- Watch your pet for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy or loss of appetite, and call a vet if any appear.
- Wash your hands after handling the food or a sick pet. Salmonella and Listeria can pass from pet food to people.
Questions readers ask
- Where do pet food recalls get published?
- The FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine keeps its own Animal and Veterinary recall list, separate from the human food recalls most trackers follow, and separate from the openFDA food enforcement API, which does not carry animal food at all. This page reads that list directly.
- What is the most common reason for a pet food recall?
- Salmonella or Listeria contamination, most often in raw or freeze-dried food, which is not cooked and so does not kill bacteria the ingredients carried. Both can also make the person handling the food ill, not only the pet.
- Can pet food recalls make people sick too?
- Yes. Someone handling contaminated pet food, or cleaning up after a sick pet, can pick up the same Salmonella or Listeria infection. Washing hands after handling the food and disinfecting bowls and scoops is part of the guidance on every recall of this kind.
- How do I know if my pet food is part of a recall?
- By the lot number and best-by date printed on the package, not the brand name alone. A recall covers particular lots produced in a specific window, so two bags of the same product bought a month apart can have different answers.
