No. None of Merrick Pet Care's recipes are being recalled.
Some pets develop food intolerances or food allergies and grains can be difficult for a pet's stomach and intestines to break down. If your pet has a sensitive stomach, our Grain Free recipes can help their digestive system problems. At Merrick, our Grain Free recipes feature higher levels of proteins, omegas, glucosamine and chondroitin.
We are committed to using only the purest ingredients in our recipes. Our recipes contain no ingredients from China; no poultry by-products; no artificial additives or preservatives; no artificial flavors or colors; no corn, wheat or soy; and no glutens. We've excluded these ingredients because we believe pet food should be fuel, not filler.

Lots of gravy
Lots of gravy is nice. My cat doesn’t drink a lot of water so she gets it from the food.

My cats usually love turkey and pretty all wet cat food, but they don’t really care for this one. Every cat has different tastes, but I would be hesitant to buy anything from this brand again because my cats just don’t seem to enjoy it as much as others.
