Sunshine Mills recalls dog foods due to mold by-product

Sunshine Mills, Inc. is voluntarily recalling several brands of dog foods due to elevated levels of aflatoxin that are potentially above the acceptable limit. No illnesses have been reported in association with these products to date.

Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mold by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus that can be harmful to pets in large quantities.
