Hy-Vee Inc. has issued a recall of certain dog products due to higher than accepted levels of aflatoxin found in some samples.
Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus and can cause serious illness or death in pets.
Signs of aflatoxin poisoning in pets include: lethargy, reluctance to eat, yellowish tint to the eyes and/or gums, and severe or bloody diarrhea. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet is displaying any of these signs.

Customers are urged to refrain from feeding any of the recalled products to their pets. Any bags of Hy-Vee dog food subject to the recall, whether opened or unopened, may be returned to Hy-Vee stores for a full refund.
Customers with questions may contact the company at 800-289-8343. This number is staffed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST.
