FDA expands Sportmix pet food recall from Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. out after the death of 70 pets

NEW YORK – The FDA is expanding the recall of dry pet food after more than 70 pets died and dozens more fell ill.

The manufacturer of Sportmix pet food last month recalled products for the first time after it was discovered that it can contain deadly levels of a mold.

As of Monday, the FDA has said it is aware of more than 70 pets that have died and more than 80 that have fallen ill after eating Sportmix pet food.

According to the FDA, not all cases have been officially confirmed as aflatoxin poisoning by laboratory tests or veterinary review.

But now the company is adding maize-containing products to the recall list.

Some of the symptoms reported include fatigue, appetite, vomiting, jaundice and diarrhea. In some cases, pets may suffer liver damage but not show other symptoms.

Pet owners should stop feeding their pets the recalled products and consult their veterinarian, especially if their pet shows any sign of illness.
