Thanks for the update. I have to admit I've never heard of some of those brands but hopefully the information will be able to help other members.

The basic things Sunshine mills failed to do that cost pets their lives

The expanded recall press release tells pet owners that Sunshine Mills failed to do several things:

1. Sunshine Mills failed to test incoming corn ingredients.
2. Sunshine Mills failed to test batches of pet foods produced between April 3, 2020 and April 5, 2020.
3. And the pet food manufacturer failed to properly trace the contaminated corn ingredients to include all pet foods lots manufactured with the aflatoxin contaminated corn.

The heartbreaking fact of these recalls - it all could have (should have) been prevented.
