Midwestern Pet Foods of Evansville has recalled Sportmix due to “potentially fatal levels of aflatoxin.” It’s a toxin produced by mold grown on corn and other grains.
Symptoms in pets can include:
- Sluggishness
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting
- Jaundice (yellowish tint to the eyes or gums due to liver damage)
- Diarrhea
- In some cases, pets may suffer liver damage but not show any symptoms
According to the FDA, pet owners should stop feeding their pets the food and consult their veterinarian, especially if the pet is showing signs of illness.
