Just one day after Procter and Gamble (P&G) recalled specific lots of its Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy dry dog food, Cargill Animal Nutrition is recalling certain brands of its dog food for the same reason.
Cargill announced a recall today of the 40 and 50 pound bags of marksman and River Run dog food products. According to a statement by Cargill, the recall is a precautionary measure due to the detection of unacceptably high levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a natural byproduct of mold. The company is advising consumers to have 
their pets seen by a veterinarian if they display sluggishness and lethargy, along with a reluctance to eat, are vomiting, have diarrhea, or have a yellowish tint to their eyes and gums. At this point no reports of ill animals have been received by Cargill.
The specific packages of dog food being recalled are:
PROFESSIONAL FORMULA RIVER RUN HI-NRG 24-20 Dog Food, 50 pound bags
RIVER RUN PROFESSIONAL FORMULA 27-18 Dog Food, 50 pound bags
RIVER RUN 21% Protein Dog Food, 40 and 50 pound bags
