On July 2, 2026, Mars Petcare US, Inc. issued a voluntary recall for two lots of PEDIGREE® Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor 13.2oz. cans which appear to have been fraudulently diverted.
The recalled products did not meet Mars and PEDIGREE stringent safety and quality standards. As part of the robust quality control process every single PEDIGREE product undergoes, these two lots had been sent to a third-party vendor for destruction. Mars later discovered that the product appears to have been fraudulently diverted and sold through unauthorized channels in the United States.
Mars is working with authorities to determine how these products entered the marketplace. We are committed to protecting pets and helping consumers identify and remove the affected products from use.
We have received no related reports of pet illness or injury to date.
