A recall at Germany’s largest pet supply chain, Fressnapf, is currently causing uncertainty, as a popular wet food from the private label Select Gold should no longer be fed to dogs. The exact reason behind this remains unclear—but customers are urgently advised to return the product.
Recall of Select Gold Dog Food
The pet supply retailer Fressnapf, which operates more than 900 stores nationwide, has initiated a recall for a product from its private label Select Gold. This involves two products of the wet food “Select Gold Sensitive Adult Venison with Potatoes.” According to the consumer portal, produktwarnung.eu, it was removed from sale on Tuesday. The food should not be fed to dogs under any circumstances.
These Batches Are Affected
Specifically, it concerns two variants of the dog food:
- Product name: Select Gold Sensitive Wet Food Adult Venison with Potatoes
- Packaging units: 200-gram can and 800-gram can
- Item numbers and best-before dates:

Affected Items Removed from Sale as a Precaution
However, Fressnapf initially did not provide a specific reason for the recall. The report from produktwarnung.eu states from the manufacturer itself: “This is not a public recall. The affected items were removed from sale as a precaution.”
Furthermore, there is no risk to humans or animals. The background of the measure is a quality-related anomaly in a raw material used, which was identified during internal testing processes at the manufacturer.
“This raw material was indeed incorporated into the affected products, but due to the usual processing and mixing, it is currently not assumed that the deviation affects the final product—a complete feed.”
How Consumers Should Respond
Anyone with an affected can at home should not use it further. A return to any Fressnapf store is easily possible. For inquiries, customer service is available at kundenservice@fressnapf.de.
