Sunshine Mills, Inc. has expanded its voluntary recall of certain pet food products made with corn that contained Aflatoxin at levels above FDA’s action levels. This is an expansion of the recall initiated Sept. 2, 2020, after an investigation conducted along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined that additional corn-based pet food products produced between April 3, 2020 and April 5, 2020 may contain corn from a single load of corn with elevated Aflatoxin levels. Aflatoxin is a naturally-occurring mold by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus that can cause harm to pets if consumed in significant quantities. To date, no illnesses have been reported in association with this recall and no other Sunshine Mills, Inc. pet food products are affected by this recall.
The affected products listed below were distributed in retail stores within the United States. Retailers who received the recalled lots have been contacted and asked to pull any remaining inventory of these lots from their shelves. Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should discontinue use of the product and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
