On 2 July 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a recall covering Can High Protein Chopped Chicken and Duck Flavor wet dog food (13.2 oz cans, two lots). The reason given in the record: Fraudulently diverted product that may contain metal and plastic foreign material.
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 physical contamination. Stop feeding the product and check any food already served for remaining pieces. A swallowed fragment can cut, lodge or block, so a dog that vomits repeatedly, drools, paws at its mouth or goes off its food after eating it needs a vet the same day. Keep the packaging: the notice and the maker will both ask for the lot details printed on it.
