Sources read: the FDA Outbreaks and Advisories list (https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/news-events/outbreaks-and-advisories), entries dated May 16, 2016 through October 26, 2026; live FDA recall notices at https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts; the FDA recalls datatable (https://www.fda.gov/datatables-json/recalls-market-withdrawals.json), rows dated 2017 through November 10, 2026, a complete-enough archive from 2024-01-01 and not a complete archive before that; the FDA animal-and-veterinary recalls table (https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals), 61 rows on November 10, 2026; and Wayback Machine snapshots of the FDA CVM recalls list (http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWithdrawals/default.htm and https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals) for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The 2019 and 2020 list pages load their rows with a script, and those rows are not in the snapshots, so coverage for 2019 and 2020 is incomplete. Notices retrieved from pages that could be opened span January 14, 2010 through November 10, 2026. A count of 0 means no dog-food notice for that brand is listed from these sources. Notices opened and then excluded, because they are cat food only or name a different brand or product, are listed with the reason on that brand's page and in the JSON exclusions array. A count of 0 does not mean every FDA list was checked for that brand.

FDA advisory · FDA publish date: September 24, 2025

FDA recall status: “The FDA recommended that Arrow Reliance, Inc. recall the two affected product lots. The firm reportedly sent a letter to customers notifying them about the two lots testing positive for L. mono , but the letter did not inform customers about the presence of Salmonella in one lot. Although Arrow Reliance may have notified its customers that it is withdrawing the two lots for L. mono , the firm has not yet provided sufficient documentation to the FDA to show that this action has removed affected product from the marketplace and customers’ freezers. Consumers may want to check Darwin’s BioLogics All-Natural & Grain-Free Beef for Dogs products for the affected lot numbers prior to feeding to pets. If consumers have any pet food on the list below, they are advised to throw it away in a secure container.”
