Consumers with questions may contact Blue Buffalo at 866-201-9072 from 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday, or by email at CustomerCare@bluebuffalo.com for more information.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 17, 2017 – Wilton, CT – Blue Buffalo Company is voluntarily
recalling one production lot of BLUE Wilderness® Rocky Mountain Recipe™ Red Meat Dinner Wet
Food for Adult Dogs, as the product has the potential to contain elevated levels of naturally-
occurring beef thyroid hormones.
Dogs ingesting high levels of beef thyroid hormones may exhibit symptoms such as increased thirst
and urination, weight loss, increased heart rate and restlessness. These symptoms may resolve when the use of the impacted food is discontinued. However, with prolonged consumption these
symptoms may increase in severity and may include vomiting, diarrhea, and rapid or difficulty
breathing. Should these symptoms occur, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Although the Blue Buffalo Customer Care Resource Team has not received any reports of dogs
exhibiting these symptoms from consuming this product, the FDA advised Blue Buffalo of a single
consumer who reported symptoms in one dog. Blue Buffalo immediately began an investigation.
After working with the FDA, Blue Buffalo decided it would be prudent to recall the one production lot in question. The one dog was also being fed non-Blue Buffalo food and has fully-recovered.
The voluntary recall is limited to one production lot of the following product:
12.5 oz BLUE Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Red Meat Dinner Wet Food for Adult Dogs
#990970 - UPC #840243101153
Best Buy Date: Lot Code June 7, 2019 (found on the bottom of the can)
Affected products were distributed nationally through pet specialty and on-line retailers.
No other Blue Buffalo products are impacted by this issue.
If your pet has consumed the product listed above and has exhibited any of these symptoms, please
discontinue feeding and contact your veterinarian. Consumers who have purchased the product
subject to this recall should dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for full refund.
If you have recently purchased one of these cans, please stop by your local Blain's Farm & Fleet Customer Service Desk to return it for a full refund. For additional information, please visit our Customer Service Desk. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
