Dog Food Recall Tracker
Written for general planning, not medical advice — no one at Argos Paws is a veterinarian. If something is wrong with your dog right now, call your vet or the nearest emergency clinic.
This list is not exhaustive and not real-time — it's a manually checked summary, updated periodically. For the authoritative, current list, always check FDA Animal & Veterinary Recalls and AVMA Recalls & Alerts directly, and confirm your specific lot/batch number against the official notice before assuming your food is affected.

Lot codes and what to do · FDA recall notice →Understanding recall severity
The FDA classifies every recall by the level of health risk it poses, and that classification tells you more than the headline does:
| Class | What it means |
|---|---|
| Class I | Reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. |
| Class II | May cause temporary or medically reversible harm, or serious harm is unlikely. |
| Class III | Adverse health consequences are not likely. |
Nearly every recall you'll see — pet food included — is voluntary, meaning the company initiates it rather than being ordered to by the FDA. That's the normal, preferred path, not a sign the company is dragging its feet; a recall only becomes mandatory if a voluntary one proves ineffective or public risk escalates, which is rare.
What to do if your food is recalled
- Stop feeding the product immediately and confirm the exact lot/batch number against the official notice — not every lot of a brand is necessarily affected.
- Store the remaining product in its original packaging in case the manufacturer requests it back, and don't just toss it without checking their instructions — most offer a refund.
- Watch for symptoms consistent with the recall reason (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, fever for pathogen-related recalls) and call your vet if anything appears, mentioning the recall.
- Report a suspected pet food safety problem to the FDA even if it's not yet an official recall — consumer reports are often what triggers one.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a Class I, II, and III recall?
These are FDA severity classifications, not a description of how the recall is handled. Class I means a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. Class II means the exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, or serious harm is unlikely. Class III means adverse health consequences are not likely. Most pathogen-related pet food recalls (Salmonella, Listeria) are Class I or II.
Is a "voluntary recall" less serious than a mandatory one?
Not necessarily — voluntary is simply the FDA's preferred and far more common path, where the company removes the product on its own initiative rather than being ordered to. Nearly every pet food recall you'll see is voluntary. A recall only becomes mandatory (FDA-ordered) if a voluntary one is deemed ineffective or the public risk escalates, which is rare.
My food isn't on this list — does that mean it's safe?
It means it wasn't recalled as of this list's last check, not that it's guaranteed safe going forward — recalls happen continuously, and this page is a manually checked summary, not a live feed. Always cross-check the FDA's own recalls page for anything more recent, and check your specific lot/batch number against the official notice rather than assuming a brand name alone tells you enough.
What should I actually do if my dog's food gets recalled?
Stop feeding it immediately and confirm the exact lot or batch number against the official FDA notice — not every lot of a recalled product is necessarily affected. Keep the remaining product in its original packaging in case the manufacturer wants it back (most offer a refund), and watch for symptoms matching the recall reason (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, fever for pathogen-related recalls), calling your vet and mentioning the recall if anything appears.
Is Pedigree dog food currently recalled?
As of this page's last check (Sept 30, 2026), the only active Pedigree recall on FDA's books is from July 2, 2026: two specific lots (613C3KKCFC and 613C1KKCFC) of PEDIGREE Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor, 13.2oz, pulled for potential metal and plastic contamination after being fraudulently re-sold instead of destroyed. It's not a broad, ongoing recall of the Pedigree brand — dry kibble and other wet varieties aren't affected. If you have either of those exact lot codes, stop feeding it and contact Mars Petcare at 1-800-525-5273 or pedigree.com/update for a replacement.
