Recall Record
2 recalls on record · most recent 2026 · all resolved
Pedigree's recent FDA record is limited, not brand-wide. In May 2024 Mars recalled 315 bags of one 44 lb dry recipe after possible loose metal. In July 2026 it recalled two lots of a 13.2 oz high-protein wet recipe after product slated for destruction appears to have been fraudulently diverted; those cans may contain metal and plastic. Mars said no other Pedigree products were included. Check lot codes on the bag or can against the FDA notices.
