The J.M. Smucker Co. has recalled dozens of dog food products due to the presence of pentobarbital, a drug used for euthanizing animals. The dog food brands include Gravy Train, Kibbles 'N Bits, Skippy and Ol’ Roy.

According to the statement on their website, "extremely low levels of pentobarbital" were found in the recalled dog food. The notice indicates, "Veterinarians and animal nutrition specialists, as well as the FDA, have confirmed that extremely low levels of pentobarbital, like the levels referenced in this report, do not pose a threat to pet safety. However, the presence of this substance at any level is not acceptable to us and not up to our quality standards. We sincerely apologize for the concern this has caused.

Please know our internal investigation into this situation is ongoing. We take this very seriously and are extremely disappointed that pentobarbital was introduced to our supply chain. We have narrowed the focus of our investigation to a single supplier and a single, minor ingredient, used at one manufacturing facility. We will take the appropriate steps to ensure this does not occur again. If you have questions, please call us at 800-828-9980."
