Hills Science Diet issues voluntary market withdrawal of eight popular products
For reasons that have yet to be disclosed, select Hill’s Science Diet products have been removed from PetSmart retail locations as a result of a “voluntary market withdrawal.”
Shoppers were surprised to find out that as many as eight canned dog food products were affected by the withdrawal, which will continue through the 18th of December.
But this is not to be confused with a product recall – according to the Food and Drug Administration, a Market Withdrawal “occurs when a product has a minor violation that would not be subject to FDA legal action. The firm removes the product from the market or corrects the violation,” as per the FDA website. “For example, a product removed from the market due to tampering, without evidence of manufacturing or distribution problems, would be a market withdrawal.”
Pet owners who did not come in contact with the posting should note that the following products have been affected:
