Dog food urgently recalled as it may contain pieces of metal

A dog food manufacturer has recalled one of its products warning it might contain pieces of metal. Encore is recalling its Beef Selection in Gravy multipack dog food because the Beef Steak with Potatoes in Gravy tin, within the multipack, may contain small pieces of metal.

This will make it unsafe for dogs to eat. Anyone who has bought the product is being advised not to feed it to their pet but to return it to the store where they bought it for a refund.

The safety warning was issued by the Food Standards Agency which said: "We urge customers who have bought this product not to feed it to their dog and return it to the store with or without a receipt from where it was bought for a full refund."

Encore issued a point of sale notice, marked "important safety warning" which said the affected food was only sold in multi-packs. It said: "Encore is recalling its multipack Beef Selection in Gravy because the Beef Steak with Potatoes in Gravy tin (156g) may contain small pieces of metal, which is sold only as part of a multipack."

It said there were three batches of products affected. These are: batch number LUl-302 (multipack) and best before date 29/10/2024; batch number LUl-343 (multipack) and best before date 09/12/2024 and batch number LU1343D (tin) and best before date 12/2024.

The notice added: "We urge customers who have bought this product not to feed it to their dog and to return the Multipack for a full refund with or without a receipt. The Encore helpdesk is also available here.

"We're sorry for any inconvenience this precautionary recall may cause. No other Encore products are affected by this recall."
