ORRVILLE, Ohio – The J.M. Smucker Co. announced a limited, voluntary recall of specific lots of two varieties of its Milo's Kitchen dog treats, distributed nationally, because the products potentially contain elevated levels of beef thyroid hormone.

The impacted production includes the following items and lots:

Smucker said the company was informed by the FDA of three illness reports and immediately initiated a voluntary recall of the limited, impacted production.

Dogs consuming high levels of beef thyroid hormone may exhibit symptoms such as increased thirst and urination, weight loss, increased heart rate and restlessness. These symptoms may resolve when the consumption of these levels is discontinued. However, with prolonged consumption these symptoms may increase in severity and may include vomiting, diarrhea, and rapid or labored breathing. Should these symptoms occur, Smucker recommends pet owners contact their veterinarian immediately.
