What You Need to Know About Aflatoxins Poisoning
If a pet’s food contains aflatoxins, the toxins have the potential to accumulate over time in the pet’s system as they continue to eat the same food daily with minimal variety.
Dogs with aflatoxin poisoning may show symptoms such as sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting, yellowish tint to the eyes, gums, or skin due to liver damage, and diarrhea. It is possible for these effects to cause long-term damage to the dog’s liver, and may even cause death in some cases.
Please be aware that some pets can be suffering from liver damage without showing any symptoms. Pet owners whose dogs have been eating the recalled products listed above should contact their veterinarians immediately.
Currently, there is no evidence that pet owners who touch food that contains aflatoxin are at risk of aflatoxin poisoning. That said, it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly after handling any pet food products.
What to Do Next
Consumers who have purchased the recalled items mentioned above should stop the use of the product immediately and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers may contact Sunshine Mills, Inc. customer service at:
(800) 705-2111 from 7AM to 4PM Central Time, Monday through Friday
or by email at customer.service@sunshinemills.com for additional information.
