Sunshine Mills Issues Voluntary Recall of 6 Lots of Dog Food for Possible Salmonella Contamination

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reporting that Sunshine Mills, Inc. is issuing a voluntary recall of certain dog food products because of the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. This announcement has been confirmed with a representative of Sunshine Mills.

No illnesses, injuries or complaints have been reported to date. The potential for contamination was noted after the firm was notified by the distributor, Fleet Wholesale Supply Company, who was informed by Minnesota Department of Agriculture when a sample of five-pound Sprout Sporting Dog Food product was collected and tested positive for Salmonella during routine surveillance.

The best buy date and lot code can be found on the back of each package. The products identified below were distributed online and in retail stores:

There are no other Sportsman’s Pride, Sprout, Intimidator, or FRM Gold Select products or other lot codes of these products affected by this recall.

Retailers who received the recalled lots have been contacted and asked to pull these lots from their inventory and 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.
