Global News reached out to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for a comment about the recall. The agency said that pet production in Canada is not a regulated commodity.

"CFIA does not have recall authority. Canadian pet food manufacturers would lead recalls of affected product," the agency said.

The FDA said the only pet products that have been impacted by this recall are food made for dogs and pet owners should discontinue feeding them to dogs.

"Consumers who have purchased any of the products affected by this recall should dispose of it or return it to the retailer for a full refund," the FDA said, adding that any pet owners who have dogs that consumed the products listed above should contact their veterinarian. "
