Hill’s expands vitamin D recall of canned dog foods![](/sites/default/files/11_hills_2.png)
Hill’s Pet Nutrition recalled eight more varieties of canned dog food today due to vitamin D concerns, bringing to 33 the total number of varieties pulled from the market since late January.
The company announced the widened recall in a letter to veterinarians after making a “detailed review” of its canned dog foods. The internal tests were spurred by findings that 25 varieties of Hill’s Prescription Diet and Hill’s Science Diet canned dog foods contained excessive levels of vitamin D, prompting a recall on Jan. 31. In February, Hill’s withdrew more products that failed to meet its formula specifications. Those products had not yet been distributed for sale.
Hill’s has not said how much vitamin D the recalled diets contained, nor whether all contained excessive amounts of it. Company officials blame the irregularities on a vitamin premix obtained from a supplier and used in specific lots of canned dog foods. They have not publicly identified the supplier.
