FDA: Dog food sold at Kroger, Lidl could contain toxic levels of Vitamin D

The FDA has recalled a long list of dry dog food after receiving complaints that dogs eating the food experienced vitamin D toxicity.

"Testing found that samples of the dog food contained excessive, potentially toxic amounts of vitamin D," according to a statement by the FDA.

Too much Vitamin D can cause serious health problems like kidney failure or death in dogs. The affected products reported to the FDA include:

• Nutrisca Chicken and Chickpea Dry Dog Food (4, 15 and 28 lb. bags)

Only dog food by the affected brands is recalled. Pet owners should not feed their dogs these recalled products. A full list of lot numbers and best-by dates can be found on the FDA website.

The FDA is asking veterinarians who suspect vitamin D toxicity in their patients to report them through the Safety Reporting Portal or by calling their local FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinators.

This is a developing situation and additional recalls may be announced.
