When a major pet food recall happens, it often makes national news, sending worried pet owners rushing to check their pantries. However, many smaller recalls issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) never make the headlines. These quiet recalls can involve products contaminated with dangerous bacteria like Salmonella or that have toxic levels of certain nutrients. Because these recalls are not widely publicized, many pet owners can remain completely unaware that the food they are giving their pet could be harmful.
