Fromm Family Pet Foods Recalls Gold Canned Dog Food
March 2016 Fromm Dog Food Recall
Fromm Family Pet Foods is voluntarily recalling their 12 oz. cans of the new Gold canned dog food pates because they do not contain recommended levels of vitamins and minerals.
According to Fromm, the dog food may contain elevated levels of vitamin D. The problem with the food was discovered through the company’s own analysis. The company is recalling these products out of an abundance of caution.
“The impact of the excess Vitamin D should be seen only when dogs have eaten these products as their exclusive meals for an extended period of time. We would expect to see a reduction in appetite,” Fromm Family Pet Foods said in a statement.
According to the company, they have not received any reports of dogs getting sick.
The company recommends that pet owners not feed their dogs any of the following canned foods:
- 12 oz. Gold Chicken Pate Dog can case code#11893, individual can upc : 72705 11892
- 12 oz. Gold Chicken & Duck can case code #11895, individual can upc: 72705 11894
- 12 oz. Gold Salmon & Chicken Pate can case code #11891, individual can upc: 72705 11890
These cans were shipped to distributors during the limited time frame from December 2015 through February 2016. If you have any of the above cans, please return them to the place of purchase or any Authorized Fromm Retailer for return to Fromm Family Foods. To find an Authorized Fromm Retailer near you, please visit or call (800) 325-6331.
There are no other Fromm products affected by this recall, and this effort is being undertaken in coordination with the FDA.
If you have any questions, please contact Fromm Family Pet Foods at (800) 325-6331.

They have not received any complaints of sick dogs? That’s BS! I called them after 3 of my 6 Yorkies got sick, 2 died of HGE.
I really don’t know what to do now? My greyhound exclusively eats Fromm Gold Pate and I have cases of the recalled cans. I can’t just change her diet now, she has a sensitive stomach. I buy it any various locations and do not have the receipts. Now I am worried I am feeding her food that is not optimal.
Our dog quit eating. I thought it was because the food was rancid. We have no Fromm retailer near by to return the cans. I am sorry for my puppy. But glad the recall came through.
My endocrinologist told me that it would be very difficult to overdose on excess Vitamin D. There really no side effects. I was taking 100,000 IUs per week. That’s a lot.
I, too, fed this to my dog BECAUSE he was recovering from an illness. It didn’t do anything good or bad.
I am sure you can contact Fromm for a refund.
