*At this time there are no official recalls for these brands yet.
Samples have been sent to an independent laboratory for testing. We do not have information on a specific contaminant at this time.
If you believe ANY BRAND of pet food is causing or has caused illness or death:
Stop the food immediately.
Report it to the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/report-problem/how-report-pet-food-complaint
Contact your veterinarian. Request a copy of your pet's medical records. Report your concerns to the pet food company and ask your vet to do the same.

This began with a significant rise in consumer reports of sick pets eating Purina pet food. We are now seeing the same symptoms across different brands of pet food which happened previously when there was contamination at the supplier level - multiple brands purchased the same contaminated material.
SAVE THE PET FOOD. Do NOT agree to send the pet food company the food. If you feel compelled to do so, only send a small portion. Keep the rest of the food in the freezer in original packaging. Do NOT send the medical records to the pet food company. Document your conversation with the pet food company.
The pet food company may offer to pay your vet bills and reimburse you for your pet food. If you agree to this they will ask you to sign a form which will prohibit you from taking legal action. If there is a class action lawsuit you will be unable to join if you do this or if you want to take your own legal action.
It is YOUR choice to feed what you feel is safe for your pets. Here is a free list of brands I trust to feed to my own pets: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JQBhk-TGSsfYXlLQnetHYoOBJplanU2X/view?usp=sharing
I also trust "The List" by consumer advocate, Susan Thixton. There are more options on her list and the $10 supports her full time work advocating for safe pet foods for our pets: https://truthaboutpetfood.com/the-list/
