MONROE, WASH. — Wet Noses Natural Dog Treat Company on Aug. 13 issued a voluntary recall of 51,000 Simply Nourish frozen dog food packages due to elevated levels of vitamin D. The company is working with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to disseminate information about the recall.
A total of eight lots were included in the recall, including Simply Nourish Frozen Chicken & Veggies, Beef & Barley, Turkey & Sweet Potato, and Pork & Veggies formulas packaged in 2-lb and 4.5-lb bags. Products were distributed to select PetSmart locations across the United States.
Simply Nourish is PetSmart’s private label store brand of dog and cat foods.
The issue was discovered when a routine nutrition test confirmed elevated vitamin D levels in certain Simply Nourish products, Wet Noses stated in the recall.
“Subsequent investigation indicates the problem arose as a result of the vitamin mix dosage being significantly reduced by the vitamin mix manufacturer, and this change was not detected or properly communicated,” Wet Noses stated. “As a result, the dosage was not reduced.”
The company reported no illnesses related to the product recall have been reported to date, and no other Wet Noses products are affected by the recall.
