Mars Petcare voluntarily recalled over 300 bags of Pedigree brand dog food sold at Walmart stores in four states due to the potential presence of loose metal pieces in the kibble, posing a health risk.
The affected bags were 44 pounds of “Adult Complete Nutrition Grilled Steak & Vegetable Flavor Dry Dog Food” with a best by date of March 2025 and lot code 410B2TXT02.
“The potential presence of loose metal pieces in the bag could pose a health hazard to pets,” the recall states. “If you believe your pet has consumed the affected product, you should monitor for unusual behavior and contact a veterinarian in the event of any concerns.”
They were sold in 176 stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
No injuries have been reported yet.
Pet owners who purchased the recalled food should stop using it and contact Mars Petcare to start a return.
The company provided contact details for consumers with questions or concerns.
