Multiple raw pet foods made by Arrow Reliance Inc. are being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration for an “ongoing pattern of pathogenic contamination.” This comes after dog treats have also been recalled from Milo’s Kitchen.
On Monday, the FDA updated a report originally published Feb. 13 to say that it has detected E. coli and salmonella in samples of Darwin's Natural Pet Products and ZooLogics Raw Dog Food.
"The FDA has detected Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O128 and Salmonella in samples of raw pet foods manufactured by Arrow Reliance Inc," the FDA said in an update. "The samples were collected by the FDA to determine whether the firm had addressed an ongoing pattern of pathogenic contamination in Darwin's and ZooLogics raw pet foods. The firm has recalled the affected products."
The recalled products are below. More information, including symptoms of salmonella and E. coli infection and specific recall dates for each product, can be found at the FDA website.

Around the same time, on March 22, The J.M. Smucker Company voluntarily recalled two kinds of Milo's Kitchen Dog Treats because of potentially elevated levels of beef thyroid hormone. Three illness reports were sent to the FDA, leading to the recall, the company said.
