(WWSB) -- Evanger's Dog and Cat Food voluntarily expanded its recall of certain products.
On March 3, the company announced the expansion. In addition to its 'Hunk of Beef,' they added 'Braised Beef' and 'Against the Grain's Pulled Beef Products.'
The recall is due to potential adulteration with pentobarbital. Oral exposure to pentobarbital can cause drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance, nausea, nystagmus (eyes moving back and forth in a jerky manner), inability to stand, coma and death.
Consumers who notice these symptoms in their pets should consult their veterinarian.
Evanger’s wants 100% of its products to be 100% safe 100% of the time prompting removal of the products.
The 12 oz. cans of dog foods that are being voluntarily recalled have the following barcodes. The numbers listed below are the second half of the barcode, which can be found on the back of the product label:
- Evanger’s: Hunk of Beef: 20109
- Evanger’s: Braised Beef: 20107
- Against the Grain: Pulled Beef: 80001
The three products being voluntarily recalled were manufactured between December 2015 and January 2017, and have expiration dates of December 2019 through January 2021.
These products were distributed online and through independent boutique pet stores nationwide.
