Fromm Family Foods issued a dog food metal contamination recall for roughly 5,800 cases of two wet dog food products after complaints about possible metal in the cans. The recall covers products sold in the U.S. and Canada through neighborhood pet stores and online retailers.
The company said 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food were recalled, along with 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. The Turkey Pâté comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006, while the Milo's Meatloaf Pâté comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029.
Fromm Family Foods recall details
Fromm said ingesting metal can pose serious risks to dogs. The company said symptoms can include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and stomach discomfort, and that sharp pieces of metal can cut the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Larger amounts of metal could lead to a partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.
No illnesses or injuries tied to the products had been reported. The affected Turkey Pâté cans have a best-by date of March 2029, giving owners a way to check shelves, cabinets and recent purchases without guessing.

Fromm said it identified the error behind the recall and has taken corrective action to prevent it from happening again. The company did not provide further details about the source of the potential contamination, so the practical step for buyers is simple: compare the can size, UPC and lot code before feeding any product from the recalled lots.
Owners who find either affected product should stop using it and set it aside. Because the recall spans two countries and two product lines, the most direct check is against the exact labels: Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food in 12.2-ounce cans and Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food in 12.5-ounce cans.
