The safety record
FDA recall records for Nutro
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 Nutro. 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.
Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care and Nutro Max dry cat foods, best-by dates May 12 to Aug 22, 2010
Incorrect levels of zinc and potassium
Nutro wet dog food cans (Natural Choice, Max, Ultra) and wet cat food pouches and cans made by Menu Foods, part of the 2007 melamine recall
Possible melamine contamination; kidney failure reports
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.
