This article alerts pet owners to a product recall issued by Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc., covering several dog and cat food brands and specific expiration dates. It explains which brands are involved, the exact expiration cutoff of “07/09/22”, the recall date, and practical steps owners can take if they have affected products. Read on for clear, calm guidance on what to check and how to respond if your pet has been exposed.
Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. announced a recall affecting multiple brands including Sportmix, Nunn Better, ProPac, Sportstrail, and Splash Fat Cat. The recall was posted on 1/11/2021 and targets certain batches tied to a specific expiration window. If you own any of these brands, a quick label check is worth a minute of your time.
The recalled items are those that expire on or before July 9, 2022, shown on packages as “07/09/22”. Any product with an expiration date after “07/09/22” is not part of this recall. That single date is the simple rule: on or before equals included, after equals excluded.
If you find an affected bag or can in your pantry, stop feeding it immediately. Separate the product from other food to avoid accidental use and dispose of it following local guidelines, or contact the place of purchase about returns. Keep any packaging accessible until you’ve decided whether to return it or discard it safely.
Watch pets carefully for signs of illness if they consumed recalled food. Symptoms to look for include vomiting, diarrhea, reduced appetite, or unusual lethargy, and these signs can appear quickly. If your animal shows worrying symptoms, contact your veterinarian right away and mention possible exposure to the recalled product.
If you prefer a refund or exchange, reach out to the retailer where you bought the food or to Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. directly for instructions on return or reimbursement. Keep your receipt or proof of purchase handy if you have it, as that can speed the process. Do not post or circulate links or package photos that reveal personal purchase information.
This recall is a reminder to scan pet food labels regularly and store pet food safely to prevent mix-ups. Regularly checking dates and storing unopened bags in a cool, dry place reduces risk and gives you confidence about what you feed your animals. Staying alert and acting quickly if you find a recalled item protects your pets and keeps your household calm.
