FYI
FROM DOG FOOD ADVISOR:

Dear Fellow Dog Lover,

I'm pleased to report there have been no dog food recalls issued since September 26, 2019.

Euthanasia Drug Discovered in Adulterated Animal Fat

The FDA recently discovered an animal euthanasia drug (pentobarbital) in test samples collected at a major supplier of animal fat to the pet food industry.

We're unable to locate any information about which pet food brands may have purchased the affected ingredient.

For this reason, we recommend all dog and cat owners remain alert to the potential for future recalls related to this news.

To read the official FDA Warning Letter sent to the producer.

For FYI
Taste of the Wild will not be affected cause they do no business with the company in question.

Not yet and it is difficult to get information due to NDAs. I know of someone who is well connected in the pet food world who is trying to dig up info.

Pentobarbital is the drug once called “truth serum” in the movies. A trace amount should do no harm unless dogs are particularly sensitive.

A trace amount will not be a problem. However, amount unknown.
Pentobarbital can cause death when used in high doses. It is used for euthanasia for humans as well as animals. In fact it is used or was used for capital punishment in some countries and states.

I have not heard anymore on this subject, but have to admit, since TOTW notified me that it does not affect any of their food, I stopped checking.
