Pet Food Recalls On The Rise

Pet food recalls have increased over the last few years, according to Newsweek. We've already had several this year. The FDA fielded many complaints about pet foods, with animals experiencing everything from mild to very severe symptoms, including bleeding and seizures.

And recalls haven't just increased for pets, they've increased for people too. If you want to stay vigilant about your and your family's food, you can check the FDA recalls website- it includes pet food as well as people's food.
