FDA Recall: Check These Two PEDIGREE Wet Dog Food Lots for Foreign Material
PET owners should check their cans now: the FDA says two lots of PEDIGREE Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor Wet Dog Food are being recalled because they may contain foreign material, including possible metal and plastic pieces.
What product is affected
This recall is limited to two specific lots of the wet dog food named above, according to the FDA’s July 2, 2026 notice. If you feed PEDIGREE to your dog, take a moment to compare the label on the can against the recall details before serving it.
Why the recall was issued
The FDA says the product is being recalled due to possible foreign material contamination. In this case, the concern is metal and plastic pieces in the food. That is the main reason pet owners should stop and check their pantry or pet-food storage right away.
What the FDA says about illness reports
So far, the FDA says no related pet illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. That is reassuring, but it does not change the need to avoid feeding any cans that match the recalled lots.
What to do now
If you find the affected PEDIGREE cans at home, do not feed them to your dog or any other pet. Dispose of the product or follow the refund or return instructions in the FDA notice.
If you are unsure whether a can matches the recall, check the product name and lot code carefully before opening or serving it. When in doubt, set it aside and contact the retailer or manufacturer using the guidance in the official notice.
A quick at-home check
Look for the exact product name, then compare the lot information on the can with the recalled lot codes listed by the FDA. This is a fast pantry check, but it can help you avoid serving a recalled product to your dog.
For pet owners, the bottom line is simple: check the lot code, stop feeding any matching cans, and follow the recall instructions right away.
