Popular dog foods recalled after euthanasia drug found in food

Popular dog food brands are being recalled after the FDA found levels of a euthanasia drug in them.

Tests found the drug in “extremely low levels”  of pentobarbital in a variety of products, including some wet dog food flavors, of the brands Kibbles ‘N Bits, Gravy Train, Skippy and Ol’ Roy.

Initially, J.M. Smucker Co. voluntarily withdrew the brands of dog food from store shelves (but did not recall them) after a report from WJLA in Washington found traces of pentobarbital in the dog food.

The company said the levels do not pose a threat to pet safety, but is apologizing saying it is not up to their standards.
