It is important to know that no illnesses have been reported, and the amount of affected product is minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTDBBS treats and chews are produced to robust safety and quality standards, using the most advanced food safety protocols. Our team is committed to doing its part to caring for the pets who enjoy our products. We regret the concern and inconvenience this recall creates for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur company has ceased the production and distribution of this product as we, in cooperation with the FDA, continue to investigate the situation further. TDBBS\u2019s product safety team is conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur safety teams have been rigorously testing our products and raw materials, working with independent testing firms and conducting an internal investigation within our supply chain to determine how this situation occurred. Nevertheless, we believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall in cooperation with our customer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>TDBBS provided the following information about specific products recalled:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recall is the result of routine sampling conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture &amp; Rural Development.
