Safety & recalls

This page covers a product withdrawal or safety-related notice. Official regulator and brand notices are the source of truth for what to do next—use this article for context, not as a substitute for those instructions.

Quick answer

Confirm the official notice before you discard, return, or feed anything.

Treat as urgent

Watch for

Lot numbers, UPCs, geography, and “use by” windows can change as regulators update scope.

Call a vet if

Your dog ate a recalled product and shows vomiting, lethargy, tremors, breathing changes, or other sudden illness—call your veterinarian or emergency clinic with the product name and lot.

Next step

Open the FDA or brand notice linked on this page (or search the product name + “recall”). Follow issuer instructions for disposal, returns, or refunds.

Safety: General information for dog owners—not veterinary diagnosis, treatment, or emergency instruction. If a regulator or brand notice applies to your lot, follow that notice; contact your veterinarian for symptoms.

This page summarizes a voluntary pet-food recall announced by Fromm Family Foods and published by the U.S. FDA. It is safety-first context—not a shopping guide. Confirm lots, dates, and geography on the FDA listing before acting; wording below reflects the notice at time of writing.

Official sources

Use this FDA URL as the authoritative checklist for product identity (copy into your browser if your reader does not auto-link plain URLs). Secondary headlines (for example, syndicated pieces referencing “plastic contamination” or case counts) should not override what the notice states.

What was recalled

Per the FDA-posted company announcement (December 3, 2025), Fromm Family Foods recalled 300 cases of Bonnihill Farms BeefiBowls Beef Recipe gently cooked frozen dog food — 16 oz. “chub” packages — due to potential foreign material contamination, described as potential plastic.

The FDA-listed identification for the affected SKU includes:

Distribution described on the notice includes neighborhood pet stores regionally in the United States (states listed on the FDA page include IL, WI, TX, AR, MS, OK, LA, CA, NV, AZ, CO, OR, WA, AK) and Ontario, Canada. Other Fromm products were stated not to be affected.

Why it was recalled

The recall was initiated because of potential foreign plastic in the affected frozen chubs. The notice states the recall followed complaints of plastic contamination, that corrective actions were described by the company, and that the voluntary recall was conducted with FDA knowledge. At the time of the announcement, no consumer illness or injury had been reported.

What dog owners should do

  1. Stop feeding the recalled product if your packaging matches the FDA-identified product, UPC, Best By, and lot line.
  2. Compare your bag/chub to the FDA notice — do not rely on memory or headline wording alone.
  3. Return affected product as directed by the notice (consumers were urged to return product to the retailer per the FDA-posted text).
  4. Keep packaging photos (UPC, Best By, lot) if you need to document what you purchased.

How to verify the official notice

Open the FDA recall listing linked above and confirm:

If your package does not match the notice’s identifiers, treat this article as background only and follow whatever primary notice applies to your lot.

When to contact Fromm or your veterinarian

Contact Fromm if you have product or return questions — the FDA-posted notice lists 1-800-325-6331 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Central) and [email protected].

Contact your veterinarian promptly if your dog ate the recalled product and shows signs such as vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, stomach discomfort, or other illness — the FDA-posted announcement describes ingestion of plastic as potentially causing GI upset or obstruction risk. This page is not medical advice; err on the side of professional care when symptoms appear.

Summary

Fromm voluntarily recalled a specific frozen Bonnihill BeefiBowls SKU tied to potential plastic contamination, with identifiers and geography spelled out on the FDA safety alert. Pause feeding if your chub matches the notice, use the FDA link as the ground truth for codes and dates, return product per retailer guidance, and involve your vet if your dog is symptomatic after consumption.
