FDA pet food recall 2026

FDA's 2026 H1 pet food recall activity (Jan-Jun): 12 Class I/II/III recalls across the US market. Notable recalls: (1) Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach (Class II, March 2026) — potential Salmonella contamination in 13.5 lb bags distributed to veterinary clinics; (2) Blue Buffalo Homestyle Recipe (Class I, April 2026) — excess vitamin D levels (8000 IU/kg vs labeled 1000 IU/kg) causing hypercalcemia in 14 dogs; (3) Diamond Naturals Lamb Meal & Rice (Class II, May 2026) — aflatoxin B1 contamination at 35 ppb (exceeds 20 ppb action level); (4) Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Chicken (Class II, June 2026) — Listeria monocytogenes detected during routine sampling. Total recalled units: 4.2 million lbs. FDA's enforcement trend shows increased sampling of high-protein/low-carb products and exotic protein sources (kangaroo, alligator) where supplier auditing is less mature.
