Hi there and thanks for posting! I just check their recall list, and no Hills Ideal Balance foods have been recalled this year. You should be good to go! If you'd like you can call their customer service at 1-800-445-5777 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday. Hope this helps!

    I don't see any active recalls for the Hlil's Ideal Balance diet, and I am not sure what reference you are referring to because there is no photo or website link attached to your question. However, here is a website link with the most recent recalls.https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-recalls/ Also you can always just call the dog food company to inquire about their recalls and the status of those recalls. This is public information and they will readily give you the information, which is required by law. I hope this helps and best wisehs selecting a good quality food for your pet. I for one feed my pets Hill's Science diet to maintain their health and overall well being. Take care.
