WASHINGTON, D.C. — A pet food company is recalling some of its product after several dogs died after eating it.
Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. is recalling Sportmix food for dogs and cats due to tests indicating dangerous levels of Aflatoxin, a toxin produced by a specific mold that can grow on corn and other grains used in pet food.
At high levels, the toxin can cause illness and death.
Sportmix is sold at Tractor Supply, which has locations in Ferndale and Lynden.
Update: a previous version of this story said Pet Stop in Bellingham sold the food. A Pet Stop spokesman said they do not.
