Fromm Family Foods is recalling approximately 5,800 cases of canned dog food sold in the United States and Canada after receiving complaints about potential metal contamination, prompting warnings for dog owners to check their pet food supplies. Fromm is a fifth-generation family-owned pet food maker headquartered in Mequon, Wisconsin, with a history in animal nutrition that dates to 1904.

According to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration, the recall covers 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food. The affected products were distributed through neighborhood pet stores and online retailers across the U.S. and Canada. In the United States, the FDA regulates pet food under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which requires that animal food be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions and free of harmful substances, and companies commonly use FDA-posted notices to publicize voluntary recalls. Foreign material such as metal fragments is a recurring cause of food recalls, and recalls of this kind are typically initiated by the manufacturer.

No illnesses or injuries tied to the products have been reported, but ingesting metal can pose serious risks to dogs, the company said. Symptoms can include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and stomach discomfort. Sharp pieces of metal can cause cuts to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, while larger amounts could lead to a partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.

The affected Turkey Pâté comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006. The recalled Milo's Meatloaf Pâté comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029. Both products carry a best-by date of March 2029.

Fromm said it identified the error behind the recall and has taken corrective action to prevent it from happening again, though the company did not provide further details about the source of the potential contamination. A representative for Fromm Family Foods did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment. No other Fromm products are affected.

Consumers should stop feeding the recalled food to their dogs and return it to the retailer. Owners whose dogs ate the products and are experiencing symptoms should contact a veterinarian.

The recall comes just days after another dog food company pulled nearly all of its fresh meals amid reports of potential eye problems in dogs. Years, a U.K.-based subscription pet food company, said earlier this week that 192 customers had reported potential eye issues in their dogs, including sudden bilateral dry eye, a condition that can lead to permanent vision loss in severe cases if left untreated.

Years is investigating whether potentially contaminated buckwheat used in its meals could be a contributing factor. The company said no causal link between its food, the buckwheat and the reported eye problems has been established, and testing remains underway. That recall is separate from the Fromm action.
