After a series of email exchanges with officials at Target (TGT) over several days including executive vice president Katie Boylan regarding the Minneapolis, MN-based company’s just-launched pet food brand Kindful, company spokesman Konnor Schmaltz told TCR late Monday that the company would decline to name any veterinarian who was involved in any capacity with the research and development of Kindful, which includes 50 dry dog and cat dry foods, canned foods, meal toppers, and treats. The company also refused to name the entity responsible for manufacturing the food.

Siobhan Delancey, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, told TCR Wednesday that there had still been only one report – an illness – thought to be connected to the recalled food.
We still have received only one report (8/2/21, after the recall was announced). This was an illness report and the dog is reported to have recovered. FDA has not yet determined whether the symptoms were caused by the food or another trigger. I’m afraid I can’t provide location information.

FDA Announces Recall of Bravo Packing, Inc. Dog Food for Salmonella and Listeria
The Canine Review has obtained a devastating inspection report with details about what investigators uncovered at one of two Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. manufacturing facilities in Chickasha, Oklahoma.

On December 30, 2020, Americans were brought to tears by an unlikely source: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, which issued a pet food recall announcement late that evening for some products of the dry food company Sportmix. That recall was updated and expanded on Monday, January 11 at about 9:30 pm ET. This expanded version of the recall acknowledged what was already being whispered in veterinary and industry circles, that this recall was going to snowball.
