The recalled dog food was distributed through multiple retailers and distributors in the U.S. The South Carolina Department of Agriculture detected the salmonella during a random sample test. No human deaths or illnesses have been reported, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The affected dog food is made from “premium-quality beef, chicken, pork and fish meals,” according to the company’s website. The company issued the recall of the five-pound bags made in its Mount Pleasant, Texas, facility on Sept.
#RECALL ON KIBBLES AND BITS DOG FOOD PLUS#
However, good dog owners should educate themselves and be aware what the foods they serve to their 4 legged friends actually contain.Mid America Pet Food is recalling one lot of its Victor Super Premium Dog Food Hi-Pro Plus due to salmonella contamination. They are no more misleading than a lot of human products which are marketed.
I do sympathize with purchasers who are misled by their packaging which is very deceptive, how can they call a food oven roasted beef flavor, when there is no sign in the ingredients of any beef apart from bone meal? They use animal digest as the source of the roasted flavor which is not the same thing at all!Īll Kibbles and Bits products are perfectly legal and monitored by the FDA and by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Operatives) who oversee pet food labeling. This food would not kill your pet, and the quality of the production probably means you dog won't get sick eating it. Given this, most dog owners would probably be happy with this food because of its fantastic packaging. If I look at the nutritional content 82% is listed as moisture so I would always recommend dry food as having more quality content than wet food.Ī review website recently surveyed dog owners and reported that 70% did not know what the dog food they purchased contained. The Ingredient list contains, chicken, chicken liver and beef, which is slightly more heartening, however, the crude protein contents are listed at 8% compared to 19% in the dry food so I question how much actual meat there is in the food. High-quality protein to help support strong muscles.I now turn to their wet food, which their website claims are: Wheat Middlings = This is not good news, these can be essentially floor sweepings, it is an ingredient more associated with low-quality dog food. I would like to know where the meat comes from before giving it to my pet.Ĭ orn Syrup= A glucose rich highly calorific ingredient of questionable benefit to the diet of your dog. Ground Whole Wheat = This ingredient is another controversial addition, considered by many animal nutritionists to have the same issue as corn.Īnimal Fat = Since there’s no mention of a specific animal, this item could come from almost anywhere: roadkill, spoiled supermarket meat, dead, diseased or dying cattle.
But it is not in my option a quality ingredient. Bone has a lower nutritional value than other meats but at least it contains 300% more protein than normal meat. It is also a cheap ingredient more commonly found in farm animal feed.īeef and Bone Meal = This is a dry rendered product and can include bone and other tissue. Soybean Meal = Although it contains 48% protein it has a lower nutritional value than actual meat and can boost the protein content of a dog product at the expense of meat. G round Yellow Corn = Corn is an inexpensive and controversial ingredient among dog nutritionists because it is a filler and of no real biological value to a dog. The fat level also falls within the boundaries of the government’s recommendations.
Kibble and Bits reviews from owners suggest dogs seem to enjoy eating them.The Kibbles and Bits brand has been around for a long time and it is very popular with lots of dog owners. Del Monte has a very good manufacturing reputation.Compare this to a bag of Taste of the Wild Dog Food which contains all natural ingredients which costs $48.99 for the same quantity. Good Value for money: The American Grill dry food retails at $10.49 for a 15lb bag.
