5,825 Cases of Fromm Dog Food Recalled Over Metal Contamination

More than 5,800 cases of wet canned dog food are being pulled from shelves after Fromm Family Foods discovered pieces of metal could be present inside select cans. The Mequon, Wisconsin-based pet food maker announced on August 21, 2026 that it is voluntarily recalling 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food, totaling 5,825 cases distributed to pet stores and online retailers across the United States and Canada.

The company said the recall was triggered after it received consumer complaints of metal contamination in the affected cans. Fromm stated it has since identified the source of the problem and implemented additional corrective measures on top of its existing safety protocols to prevent a repeat occurrence.

Products Affected by This Recall

Two specific canned products are included in the recall, both tied to a single production run marked with a shared lot number and best-by date. Consumers should check their pantry or refrigerator against the details below before feeding these products to a dog.

• Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food – 12.2 oz. can, UPC 072705118700, Lot Code EP2A3306 551006, Best By 032029
• Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food – 12.5 oz. can, UPC 072705132324, Lot Code EP2A3306 551029, Best By 032029

Fromm has confirmed that no other products in its lineup are affected by this recall – it is limited strictly to these two pâté varieties bearing the listed lot codes and best-by date.

What Went Wrong?

The recall stems from potential metal fragments that may have made their way into the canned food during production. Metal contamination in pet food is treated seriously because even small, sharp pieces can cause physical injury inside an animal’s mouth or digestive tract. According to the company’s announcement, dogs that ingest metal may show symptoms such as choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, or visible stomach discomfort. In more serious cases, consuming metal can cause lacerations along the gastrointestinal tract or lead to a partial blockage and intestinal obstruction, particularly if larger amounts are swallowed.

As of the announcement date, Fromm has not received any reports of illness or injury linked to the recalled cans.

Where Were These Products Sold?

The recalled Fromm products reached consumers through neighborhood pet stores and online retail outlets in both the United States and Canada. Because distribution spanned multiple retail channels rather than a single chain, the company is asking anyone who purchased these specific items – regardless of where they bought them – to check their cans against the lot code and best-by date listed above.

Steps Consumers Should Take

If you have either of these products at home, stop feeding it to your dog right away. Fromm is urging customers who purchased the Turkey Pâté or Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté with the Best By 032029 date to return the unused product to the retailer where it was purchased.

Pet owners whose dogs have already eaten the recalled food and are showing any of the symptoms described above should contact their veterinarian promptly. For questions about the recall, the company can be reached at 1-800-325-6331, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Central Time, or by email at info@frommfamily.com.

What the Company Said

In its announcement, Fromm Family Foods said it identified the cause of the contamination and has already put corrective actions in place to prevent it from happening again. The company noted that the recall is being carried out with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which posted the notice as a public service without endorsing either the product or the company involved.

Consumers are advised to keep an eye on official FDA and Fromm channels for any further updates related to this recall.
