3 years ago

Company name: Sportmix
Brand name: Sportmix
Product recalled: Dog and Cat Food
Reason of the recall: Elevated levels of aflatoxin
FDA Recall date: December 30, 2020
Recall details: Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc., of Evansville, IN is issuing a voluntary recall of the below-listed dog and cat food products due to tests indicating levels of Aflatoxin that exceed acceptable limits. Products were distributed nationally to online distributors and retail stores. Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by the mold Aspergillus flavus, which can grow on corn and other grains used as ingredients in pet food. At high levels, aflatoxin can cause illness and death in pets.

There have been reports of illnesses and deaths in dogs associated with the below listed lots of Sportmix High Energy. No cat or human illnesses have been reported. If your pet shows signs of aflatoxin poisoning including sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting jaundice (yellowish tint to the eyes, gums, or skin due to liver damage), and/or diarrhea, contact a veterinarian immediately. Provide a full diet history to your veterinarian. It may be helpful to take a picture of the pet food label, including the lot number. Lot code information may be found on the back of the bag and will appear in a three-line code, with the top line in the format “EXP 03/03/22/05/L#/B###/HH:MM” as follows (see below in pictures section).

Retailers and distributors should immediately pull recalled lots from their inventory and shelves. Do not sell or donate the recalled products. Retailers are encouraged to contact consumers who have purchased the recalled products if you have the means to do so (frequent buyer cards, etc.).

Pet parents: do not feed the recalled products to your pets or any other animals. Destroy the products in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access them. Wash and sanitize pet food bowls, cups, and storage containers. Contact Midwestern Pet Foods Consumer Affairs at 800-474-4163, ext. 455 from 7AM to 4PM Central Time, Monday through Friday, or by email at info@midwesternpetfoods.com for additional information. This is a voluntary recall conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is investigating a Salmonella outbreak linked to snakes and feeder rodents across eight provinces. The outbreak has resulted in 70 confirmed cases of illness, 10 individuals have been hospitalized, and one fatality reported. The provinces affected include British Columbia (3),... See More Alberta (10), Saskatchewan (7), Manitoba (3), Ontario (32), Quebec (11), New Brunswick (1) and Newfoundland and Labrador (3).

Many of the individuals who fell ill reported direct or indirect contact with snakes and feeder rodents before their illnesses occurred. Some did not handle the animals themselves but lived in the same house where they were kept. A single common supplier of snakes or feeder rodents has not been identified, indicating that Salmonella bacteria can be found in many species of animals, including snakes and feeder rodents.

The outbreak, which spans from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador, has been ongoing since February 2022. The infected individuals range in age from 0 to 96, with 19% of the cases involving children 5 years or younger.

The issue was first identified due to an increase in reports of Salmonella illnesses across Canada. Through the use of whole genome sequencing, it was determined that some illnesses dating back to 2022 were caused by the same outbreak strain as the illnesses that occurred in 2023 and 2024. The investigation is ongoing, and recent illnesses continue to be reported to PHAC.

You can get sick with Salmonella by touching reptiles and rodents, their food, and their environments and then touching your face, eyes, or mouth without washing your hands. To prevent further spread of the disease, individuals are advised to practice good hand hygiene and frequent handwashing after contact with snakes, feeder rodents, and their environments.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Fed dream bones to our furbaby and he later was vomiting a lot, then had diarrhea to the point it was liquid blood.We attributed it to his age. He's 17. He became very lathergic, quit eating and drinking. He started felling better the next day. He quit... See More vomiting but still had the bloody diarrhea. 2 days later he was still lethargic but interested in food. Dream bones treats have always been his favorite, he didn't have a lot of interest in eating and his treats were the only thing he would eat so we gave him 2. The next day we were back to the bloody diarrhea , lethargic, and loss of appetite. I cried, prayed, and held him all day, just knowing he wasn't going to make it. My heart shattered. We went thru this for 2 more days, then I started questioning if it was the treats. No more treats and giving him Activia yogurt and homemade soup and he's back to himself. Thank God he's ok now. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Bloody Stool, Loss of Appetite See Less

Recent Interesting Reports

I received a phishing email claiming to be “Malwarebytes” offering me a 3 year subscription that a) doesn’t exist and b) I never bought, and attempted to charge me over $400 including tax.

The phishing email had the phone number: 888 889-2916, which is not Malwarebytes’s official... See More support number.

The originating email does not have malwarebytes. com, the phone number is incorrect, and I never purchased malwarebytes premium. The actual malwarebytes offering is called “plus” and not “premium”, and malwarebytes does not offer a 3 year plan option, only monthly, annually, and 2 year. Even if malwarebytes did offer a 3 year plan, the total would come out to roughly $297 and not $399, since the annual option is priced at 99.99 on Malwarebytes’s website.

Per malwarebytes’s official website, renewal emails come from the following addresses, and none of them are present:
no-reply@ store-mail.malwarebytes. com
no-reply@ mail.malwarebytes. com
noreply@ e.malwarebytes. com
noreply@ t.malwarebytes. com

I already alerted both Malwarebytes and relevant regulators (FTC, FBI).
