January 1, Dog Treat Recall Alert: Contamination Risk with Popular Products

Attention dog owners! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning about a recent recall involving green tripe-flavored dog treats. TDBBS LLC is voluntarily recalling 3,551 bags of these treats due to potential contamination with “foreign metal objects.”

According to a June 21 FDA notice, the recalled products were distributed nationwide between February and May this year. They were sold at retail stores and online. Affected products include Barkworthies Nutrient Rich Belly Bark Green Tripe dog treats, Best Bully Sticks green tripe dog treats in 2-pound bags, and 5-pound bags.

Lot codes, item numbers, universal product codes (UPCs), and best-by dates can be found in the recall notice. No other dog treats manufactured by TDBBS LLC are affected. The company is working with distributors and retailers to ensure the products are no longer for sale and removed from inventory.

The FDA warns that “the potential presence of metal objects could pose a health hazard to your dog.” If you still have any of these dog treats, stop feeding them to your pets and throw them away.

Monitor your pet for signs of illness or “unusual behavior,” and contact your veterinarian if you have any concerns. Customers can reach TDBBS LLC for questions and product returns at [email protected] or by phone at 877-483-5853.

This recall comes after Mars Petcare issued a voluntary recall of Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition Grilled Steak and Vegetable Flavor Dry Dog Food last month. The recall was due to concerns about “loose metal pieces.” The affected products were sold exclusively by Walmart in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
