Sportmix Pet Food Recalled After Reports of 28 Dogs Deaths

On December 30, 2019, the FDA announced a recall of Sportmix pet food products manufactured by Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. that may contain potentially fatal levels of aflatoxin. The FDA reports of at least 28 deaths and 8 illnesses in dogs that ate the products.
