When was the last NutriSource dog food recall?

NutriSource last issued a voluntary recall in October 2021 after learning that one of their products had dangerous levels of vitamin D. The brand recalled their Pure Vita Salmon Entrée Dog Food and urged consumers who had already purchased the product to return it to their retailers for a full refund.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, often associated with healthy bones. However, if consumed in high amounts, it can result in life-threatening side effects.

Some of the common symptoms of excess levels of vitamin D in dogs include vomiting, increased urination, excessive thirst, loss of appetite, increased drooling, and weight loss. In extreme cases, a dog can suffer from kidney failure, among other severe health issues, and die.

The FDA stated: “…extremely high levels of vitamin D can cause serious health problems. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so unlike water-soluble vitamins, when a dog gets too much, the excess is not rapidly excreted in his or her urine. Instead, it’s stored in fat tissue and the liver. Excessive vitamin D can lead to kidney failure and even death.”
