Written by Rachel Phelps

If you follow my blog you know I work alot with Iams and they let me know about a small voluntary recall they are having on one of their products. They decided today (12/6) to recall one production lot of Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy Original dry food,

Only one production lot and code date are affected by this announcement:

Here’s the easiest way to figure out if you have any of the recalled food:

~ The recalled food is dry Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy Original. No other Iams or Eukanuba, cat or dog products are part of this recall.

~ The recalled food was sold only by retailers located in the eastern region of the United States (AL, CT, DE, FL, GA, LA, MD, ME, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, SC, VA) after October 5. No other regions of the United States or Canada are affected by this recall.

~ The code date on the package matches one of the 5 code dates listed. Look at the very top of the package for two lines of numbers. If you have affected product, the second line on your product will read: 12794177 or 12784177.

The product is being recalled because it was above the acceptable limit for aflatoxin. There was one lot in question but to be on the safe side they are recalling the lots produced just before and after the lot in question. However, Iams has not received any reports of any illness. All unsold products have been removed from the shelves already.

If any of my readers have any questions please give IAMS a call their Our toll-free number is 866-908-1569 (Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST)
