**Update
\nThe following Evanger’s product has also been recently recalled for the same reason.
\nEvanger\u2019s: Braised Beef 12 ounce can UPC:\u00a0\u00a0077627201073.<\/p>\n

Evanger’s recently announced its first recall in its 82 years of manufacturing pet food. The recall was announced\u00a0because of a potential contaminant, pentobarbital<\/em>. According to the FDA<\/a>,\u00a0pentobarbital “<\/em>is routinely used to euthanize animals, the most likely way it could get into dog food would be in rendered animal products.\u00a0Presently, it is assumed that the pentobarbital<\/em> residues are entering pet foods from euthanized, rendered cattle or even horses.”<\/p>\n

This recall has been added to the Safe Pet Treats app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Evanger's<\/p>\n

The following is the official FDA recall:<\/p>\n

Out of an abundance of caution, Evanger\u2019s Dog & Cat Food of Wheeling, IL is voluntarily recalling specific lots of its Hunk of Beef product because of a potential contaminant Pentobarbital, which was detected in one lot of Hunk of Beef Au Jus<\/em>. Pentobarbital<\/em> can affect animals that ingest it, and possibly cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance, or nausea, or in extreme cases, possibly death.<\/p>\n

The specifically-identified lot numbers (as detailed below) of cans of 12-oz Hunk of Beef being voluntarily recalled were distributed to retail locations and sold online in the following States: Washington, California, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and were manufactured the week of June 6 \u2013 June 13, 2016.<\/p>\n

Although pentobarbital was detected in a single lot, Evangers is voluntarily recalling Hunk of Beef products that were manufactured the same week, with lot numbers that start with 1816E03HB, 1816E04HB, 1816E06HB, 1816E07HB, and 1816E13HB, and have an expiration date of June 2020. The second half of the barcode reads 20109, which can be found on the back of the product label.<\/p>\n

The subject recall affects 5 lots of food that were produced from its supplier\u2019s lot of beef, which is specifically used for the Hunk of Beef product and no other products. To date, it has been reported that five dogs became ill and 1 of the five dogs passed away after consuming the product with lot number 1816E06HB13. Evanger\u2019s is proactively issuing a recall voluntarily so as not to risk potential exposure to<\/strong> pentobarbital in the product.<\/p>\n

All Evanger\u2019s suppliers of meat products are USDA approved. This beef supplier provides us with beef chunks from cows that are slaughtered in a USDA facility. We continue to investigate how this substance entered our raw material supply.<\/p>\n

Because we source from suppliers of meat products that are USDA approved, and no other products have had any reported problems, we are not extending the recall to other supplier lots. This is the first recall for Evanger\u2019s in its 82 years of manufacturing. Although it has been verified that little or no product remains on store shelves, if consumers still have cans with the aforementioned lot numbers, he or she should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-847-537-0102 between 10:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM Central Time, Monday – Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
