    RECALL HISTORY // IAMS

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    AUG 14, 2013
    POTENTIAL SALMONELLA

    Limited lots of Iams and Eukanuba dry dog and cat food (P&G) Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    SAME LINE

    Other Flavors

    Adult Small Breed 30.0% Adult Minichunks 27.8% Adult Minichunks with Lamb & Rice 27.8% Adult Large Breed Lamb & Rice 25.0%

    Protein on a dry matter basis, read the same way.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
