Blue Buffalo Recall<\/h3>\n

Blue Buffalo Company is voluntarily recalling one production lot of BLUE Wilderness\u00ae Rocky Mountain RecipeTM Red Meat Dinner Wet Food for Adult Dogs, as the product has the potential to contain elevated levels of naturally- occurring beef thyroid hormones.<\/p>\n

Dogs ingesting high levels of beef thyroid hormones may exhibit symptoms such as increased thirst and urination, weight loss, increased heart rate and restlessness. These symptoms may resolve when the use of the impacted food is discontinued. However, with prolonged consumption, these symptoms may increase in severity and may include vomiting, diarrhea, and rapid or difficulty breathing. Should these symptoms occur, contact your veterinarian immediately.<\/p>\n

Although the Blue Buffalo Customer Care Resource Team has not received any reports of dogs exhibiting these symptoms from consuming this product, the FDA advised Blue Buffalo of a single consumer who reported symptoms in one dog, who has now fully recovered. Blue Buffalo immediately began an investigation, however, and after working with the FDA, Blue Buffalo decided it would be prudent to recall the one production lot in question.<\/p>\n

The voluntary recall is limited to one production lot of the following product:<\/p>\n

Product Name<\/strong> –\u00a0BLUE Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Red Meat Dinner Wet Food for Adult Dogs 12.5 oz can.
\nUPC<\/strong>\u00a0– 840243101153
\nBest<\/strong> by<\/strong> – June 7, 2019<\/p>\n

Affected products were distributed nationally through pet specialty and on-line retailers.<\/p>\n

No other Blue Buffalo products are impacted by this issue.<\/p>\n

If your pet has consumed the product listed above and has exhibited any of these symptoms, please discontinue feeding and contact your veterinarian. \u00a0Consumers who have purchased the product subject to this recall should dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for full refund.<\/p>\n

Consumers with questions may contact Blue Buffalo at 866-201-9072 from 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday, or by email at \u00a0CustomerCare@bluebuffalo.com\u00a0<\/a>for more information.<\/p>\n
