On 17 March 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a recall covering BLUE Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Red Meat Dinner wet dog food, one lot. The reason given in the record: Potentially elevated levels of naturally occurring beef thyroid hormone.
A posted recall is the regulator putting a specific product and a specific concern on the public record. It is not a judgement on everything the brand sells, and it is not removed when the story fades: it stays in the count a careful buyer can check, which is why our review scores count events like this one.
This recall is about a nutrient at the wrong level, which harms slowly rather than at once. Stop feeding the product even if your dog seems well, and if the dog has eaten a lot of it over weeks, tell your vet what the product was and how long it was fed: the symptoms named in the notice are the ones to watch for, and some need a blood test rather than a waiting game.
