Pedigree  canned dog food has been recalled for a potential choking risk from plastic in the food.

Only cans of PEDIGREE® weight management canned dog food varieties with the production codes shown below are included in this voluntary recall. Each product will have a lot code printed on the end of the can that begins with 209, 210, 211 or 212 and a Best Before date that falls between 2/24/2014 and 3/23/2014.

Mars Petcare US announced the voluntary recall in a press release stating that blue plastic may be found in the food.

Consider supporting a small business for your pet food purchases.  Many pet parents want out of the big box pet food distribution system because of recalls like this.  They make their own pet food or have fresh food shipped right to their door.  Something to consider.
