Against The Grain Pet Food Voluntarily Recalls One Lot of Pulled Beef Due to Potential Adulteration with Pentobarbital

Markham, IL – (February 14, 2017) Out of an abundance of caution, Against the Grain Pet Food is voluntarily recalling one lot of Against the Grain Pulled Beef with Gravy Dinner for Dogs that was manufactured and distributed in 2015 (bold added).

The 12 oz. Against the Grain Pulled Beef with Gravy Dinner for Dogs that is being voluntarily recalled, due to the potential presence of pentobarbital, has an expiration date of December 2019, a lot number of 2415E01ATB12, and the second half of the UPC code is 80001 (which can be found on the back of the product label).

These companies should be looking at the rendering plants that provide them "meat."

Except they claim they aren't using rendered meat.  "USDA" inspected is their claim.  However USDA inspected is not the same thing as "USDA approved".

Incidentally TAPF reports that a civilian who works for a pet store has sent a can in for independent testing, to find out exactly what kind of meat is actually in these foods. Evangers has had problems with THAT before too (lying about the meat content)
