We really don’t know at this time, but it seems extremely possible, depending on how many pet food manufacturers were supplied with the contaminated wheat gluten—or other contaminated products. Please monitor the FDA’s website closely for new recall announcements, as well as our recalled products page.

Since March 16, 2007, more than 150 brands of pet food have been voluntarily recalled by a number of companies. Types of pet foods recalled include:

Many companies that sell pet food do not make the food. Instead, they give their formulation, or recipe, to manufacturing firms. The manufacturer mixes ingredients according to the recipes to make a wide variety of pet foods for companies to sell under many different brand names. Because one manufacturer may produce many kinds of pet foods at the same facility, a contaminated ingredient can get into many of these foods.

Call your veterinarian immediately if your pet shows signs of illness such as loss of appetite, weakness or lack of energy, or vomiting. The American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) has recommended that pets (dogs and cats) that ingested pet food that was on the recall list, whether showing signs of illness (lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, etc.

Cross-contamination is the transfer of harmful substances or microorganisms to food by equipment, food-contact surfaces, utensils, hands, or other means. It occurs when these items are not cleaned properly after processing a food that contains a harmful substance and then processing another food.

Since the time that information was originally posted on this site, additional recalls have been made by different manufacturers who may have used wheat gluten from a particular supplier in China. Although there are different opinions about the identity of the actual contaminant in the wheat gluten, manufacturers who have used this particular brand are instigating recalls of the foods.

Any food that is not on the recall list is safe and can be substituted for a contaminated product. The important thing to remember is that although this is an extensive recall, commercially available diets are still the best option for your pets overall health. Home made diets are often lacking in nutrients and can subject your pet to other more common contaminates such as salmonella. Ask your veterinarian for suggestions on what would be a suitable diet change for your dog or cat.

The recalling firm is responsible for disposing of the recalled material. The firm must make sure that the contaminated products do not re-enter the human food, pet food, or animal feed supply. The disposal also has to be done in accordance with state and federal environmental laws. Disposal options may include landfill, incineration, or industrial uses.

If you develop signs or symptoms of botulism, seek medical attention immediately. These include new onset of double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, or muscle weakness. If untreated, the illness may progress from head to toe, with paralysis of the face, arms, breathing muscles, trunk, and legs. Symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food, but they can occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 10 days.

Do not open or puncture the can. Place the unopened can in a sealable bag, wrap another plastic bag around it, and tape it tightly. Dispose the taped bags in a trash receptacle for non-recyclable trash outside the home and out of reach of humans and pets. Wash hands with soap and running water for at least 2 minutes. Any food that may be contaminated with botulinum toxin should be discarded using extreme care.

If your pet develops signs of botulism, seek veterinary attention immediately. Signs of botulism in pets are similar to those in people. In addition, your pet may have difficulty holding its head up or its tongue may hang out of the mouth. There is no specific treatment for botulism in animals, but supportive medical care may be helpful. Watch your pet for signs of botulism for 10 days after it ate the recalled product.
