AllProvide Pet Foods LLC has recalled nearly 700 kilograms of a dog food product after concerns that it may contain plastic, prompting an urgent warning to pet owners across the United States.
The Georgia-based company said it voluntarily pulled its “AllProvide Holistic Pet Food Gently Cooked Chicken Recipe For Dogs” from the market after the possible contamination was discovered. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the frozen product was distributed nationwide and sold in vacuum-sealed packaging.
The recall affects items with the following lot codes: 048-01, 048-2, 048-3, 048-4, 048-5, 048-6, 048-7, 048-8, 048-9, 048-10, 048-11, 048-12, 048-13 and 048-14.
Pet owners are being urged to check any packages of the recalled chicken recipe and ensure the food is not fed to dogs. The warning comes as plastic contamination in pet food can pose a risk if ingested, potentially causing injury or digestive problems.
The company’s recall covers a relatively small amount of product, but the nationwide distribution means customers in multiple states may have purchased it. The FDA said the recall was issued voluntarily by the manufacturer after the issue was identified.
The product is a frozen, gently cooked chicken recipe marketed for dogs. Because it is vacuum-sealed, shoppers are being told to inspect packaging carefully and compare the lot information on the label with the recalled codes.
Consumers who have the affected dog food are advised not to use it and to follow the recall instructions provided by the company or retailer. Pet owners should also monitor their dogs for any signs of distress if they may have eaten the product.
No other products were mentioned in the recall notice. The focus remains on the specific chicken recipe and the listed lot codes linked to the potential plastic contamination.
Authorities and the manufacturer are warning that recalled pet food should be removed from circulation immediately to reduce the chance of accidental feeding. The case adds to ongoing concerns about food safety in the pet product industry and the importance of checking recall notices promptly.
If users have the product in their homes, they should review the lot code on the package before giving it to pets. The recall applies only to the identified items, but owners are being encouraged to stay alert for updates from the manufacturer and the FDA.
