ALERT! Blue Ridge Beef is a repeat offender with 5 product recalls in under 18 months. We advise caution.

Blue Ridge Beef has had 2 product recalls in the last 2 months, both for salmonella contamination. These recalls were both requested by the FDA who spot tested their foods and discovered problems. This suggests to us that the FDA may be concerned about the safety of this brand's foods, due to past recalls, and their failure to safety check their own products appropriately.

We have also seen previous recalls of Blue Ridge Beef products due to similar issues in Mar 2024, Dec 2023 and Oct 2023. That's 5 product recalls in under 18 months.

This is a higher instance of recalls than we see in most dog food manufacturers. And, while we usually advise that recalls are not indicative of a wider problem with a brand, we change our tune in the case of repeat offenders.

We'd advise caution when it comes to Blue Ridge Beef foods. For whatever reason, these foods are becoming contaminated on a semi-regular basis and we're concerned that any safety checks that are in place may not be adequate.

We did approach Blue Ridge Beef for comment on this matter, asking them to clarify the situation and what they are doing to ensure the safety of their dog foods going forwards. However, so far, they have not responded to our messages.

So hello everyone. Its time. We have tried our very best but it’s time to let her sleep. I don’t want her hurting anymore. I want her to go to sleep with all...

It’s time. It’s time for me and my family to say goodbye to our best friend. Someone who not only we love but that we are so proud of. For 14 years she has been there through every step of my adult life. Without her I wouldn’t be the person I am today. We touch me love. Touch me compassion. Talk me courage. Taught me how to be a man. From a 19 year old boy to now. She was there through the most important times of my life. From taking care of my babies. To watching them grow. To being the flower girl at my wedding. To dancing drunk to dancing in the moonlight on the dancefloor. To my kids and family taking care of her. I understand it’s part of life. The hardest thing as a dog family to ever go through. But I just want her to know how proud I am of her. And how privilege we are as a family to be that family who she chose to be with. You all seen short videos and loved her the amount you do. Imagine how much we as a family love her. There will never be another Millie. She will never be forgotten. We will be giving her the best 24 hours ever that we can. We will be back soon to let you all know when it’s over. But remember one thing. She will be flying high with Rupert. With Phil. With Keyush & with Sherpa. Love you all so much for all the support we recieved over the coming months. From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.

Love Milperthusky fam x

BHA is a controversial preservative found in many dog foods. But it's been linked to cancer & reproductive disorders... so is it really safe...? 🤔

US government regulations allow BHA in dog food, considering it safe in low doses. But BHA has been found to produce malignant tumors in lab animals & the State of California includes it on its “Chemicals Known… to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity” report.

So too, the EU considers BHA a ‘hormone disruptor‘… because studies have shown it can damage the s***m quality of male rats and the s*x organs of females. Indeed, BHA is banned from use in certain EU food products for this reason 👀

And dogs may be at greater risk. This is because, unlike humans, who vary their diets with each meal, dogs are typically fed the same food continuously. Day after day. For a lifetime.

It’s that cumulative exposure to a risky chemical (like BHA) that can magnify its effect on your dog's body.

So why take the risk? 🤷‍♀️

Dog food companies include BHA in recipes because it extends the shelf life of a dog food longer than natural preservatives. It does a great job of stopping fat going rancid. Which can make the food more profitable for the pet food company.

But does it make the food more dangerous for our dogs?

By contrast, many pet foods are preserved with super-safe natural preservatives like…

✔️ Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
✔️ Mixed tocopherols (vitamin E)

Look. Here’s the point. Considering all the dangerous health issues linked to BHA, it seems logical to avoid dog foods that contain it. After all there are many quality dog foods that don't contain this controversial ingredient.

As our expert pet nutritionist, Laura Ward, says "I prefer to avoid BHA. It does a great job as an antioxidant - it certainly works to delay foods becoming rancid. But, since there are other options now, such as antioxidants which are based on vitamin E, I don't see any need to use artificial antioxidants for which studies have shown there is the potential for negative health effects."

Our best advice is to check your dog food labels. Look for the “fat” ingredient, followed by the words “preserved with BHA. And avoid where possible.
