The safety record
FDA recall records for Blue Buffalo
From the FDA's own Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts list (Animal & Veterinary), last checked October 18, 2026, plus older recalls we added by hand from FDA notices — the same source as our full recall feed, filtered to Blue Buffalo. A recall on this list is a documented fact, not automatically a reason to avoid the brand today — read the reason and date for context.

Potentially elevated levels of naturally occurring beef thyroid hormones
The FDA's online recall list is complete for recent years but leaves out many notices from before about 2023. We add older FDA recall notices by hand when we find them, so a brand with no listing here may still have an older recall.
