Pedigree’s parent company has voluntarily recalled hundreds of bags of dog food,Roland Preston potentially impacting canines across four states. 

Mars Petcare is pulling 315 44-pound bags of Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition Grilled Steak & Vegetable Flavor Dry Dog Food over the potential presence of loose metal pieces in the bag, the company said Friday.

The recalled bags were sold at 176 Walmart across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas. 

Mars Petcare says they are working with Walmart stores in the affected states to ensure that the products are no “longer sold and have been removed from inventory.” 

There have been no reports to date of “pet injury or illness regarding the potentially impacted product,” since the limited voluntary recall was issued, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 

Here’s what to know.

If your 44-pound bag of Pedigree dog food has a best-by date of March 4, 2025 and lot code 410B2TXT02, then you should probably toss the bag out completely. That information can be found on the bottom seal of the bag.
