Sunshine Mills Recalls Six Brands Of Dog Food Over Mold Byproduct

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Heads up, pet owners: six types of dog food are being recalled, because they might contain toxic levels of Aflatoxin, a byproduct of mold.

According to an FDA alert, the dog food products were made by Sunshine Mills, Inc., which issued a voluntary recall of some of its products due to potentially elevated levels of Aflatoxin above the acceptable limit.

"Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus and can be harmful to pets if consumed in significant quantities," according to the FDA.

No illnesses have been reported in connection to the recalled products so far.

The affected products include:

No other Sunshine Mills pet foods are affected by the recall.

"Pets that have consumed any of the above recalled products and exhibit symptoms of illness including sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat, vomiting, yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, or diarrhea should be seen by a veterinarian," the FDA said.

Anyone who has purchased any of the recalled products should stop using them, and returned any unused portion to the store where they bought it for a full refund.
