URGENT: Popular pet food brand issues recall after mould discovered in five products
Australian pet owners are being advised to check their pet food after a popular brand issued a voluntary recall on its products, which may contain mould.
Black Hawk has issued an immediate recall of five different puppy and adult dog food varieties after it discovered specific batches, which were manufactured last year, to have a common quality defect.
In an updated statement issued today, the company added more batches to its long list of products which include:
- Black Hawk Adult Chicken and Rice Dog Food (3kg, 10kg and 20kg)
- Black Hawk Adult Lamb and Rice Dog Food (3kg, 10kg and 20kg)
- Black Hawk Adult Fish and Potato Dog Food (3kg, 10kg and 20kg)
- Black Hawk Adult Large Breed Chicken and Rice Dog Food (20kg only)
- Black Hawk Puppy Large Breed Chicken and Rice (20kg only)
The products have best before dates that range between February 2, 2021 to June 4, 2021.
Pet owners are being told to check their best before dates on their dog food which can be found at the back of the bag towards the centre, near the ingredients list.
“If you’re product matches the disclosed product and best before dates, stop feeding it to your pet immediately,” said the statement.
“Return the product to your place of purchase, where your retailer will provide you with a replacement bag of food.”
It also said: “… if product is affected the mould is very obvious to consumers.”
The company said there have been no reports of ill animals so far.
