Mars Petcare US has recalled three varieties of Pedigree weight management canned dog food products because of a potential choking risk. The affected products may contain small pieces of blue plastic, which entered the food during the production process. Mars identified the source of the plastic and resolved the issue, the company reported.
The company encourages consumers who purchased recalled cans to return them to the retailer for a full refund or exchange.
The recalled products include Pedigree weight management canned dog foods with a lot code printed on the end of the can that begins with 209, 210, 211 or 212 and a Best Before date that falls between 2/24/2014 and 3/23/2014.
