FDA狗狗乾糧回收 維他命D超標70倍

FDA recalls that vitamin D in dog dry food exceeds legal limit by 70 times

In early December, the U.S. FDA issued another emergency recall of dry dog ​​food. The recalled brands include Nutrisca, Natural Life Pet Products, Sunshine Mills, ANF, Lidl, Kroger, ELM Pet Products, and Ahold Delhaize.

Some dog food may be imported into Hong Kong through parallel imports. You should check whether you have purchased any batches that need to be recalled.

Effects of excessive vitamin D on dogs

The reason for this recall is that vitamin D exceeds the standard by 70 times. Although vitamin D is an essential nutrient for animals, if the dog takes too much, it will cause vomiting, loss of appetite, thirst and frequent urination. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure and sudden weight loss. , thereby endangering the dog's life.

The benefits of fresh ingredients

Here comes the question, why would the solution exceed the standard by so much 70 times? There is no reason to eat 70 times as much fresh and nutritious food as normal. It can be inferred that these dry foods may be produced with by-products that have no nutrients or are not fresh, so we need to add additional vitamins first. There may even be cases where the amount exceeds the standard by 70 times.

So remember to choose food made with fresh ingredients for your dog!
