Cause: Elevated level of thyroid hormone
Announcement: FDA recall notice dated April 8, 2020
What was recalled: Dog treats
The J.M. Smucker Company is voluntarily recalling specific lots of two types of Milo’s Kitchen® dog treats due to presence of elevated levels of beef thyroid hormone. The affected dog treats were distributed nationwide.
The two varieties of dog treat impacted are Milo’s Kitchen Steak Grillers/Steak Grillers Recipe with Angus Steak (18 oz, 22 oz, and 10 oz. bags with various UPC and Best By dates) and Milo’s Kitchen Grilled Burger Bites with Sweet Potato and Bacon (15 oz. bag with Best By date of 11/19/2018).
The recall was initiated after the FDA informed Smucker about three reports of illness. Consuming high levels of beef thyroid hormone can cause dogs to experience increased thirst and urination, weight loss, increased heart rate, and restlessness. Prolonged exposure may lead to more serious illness.
